  Hello everyone!
  
  🏡 I am a father of two daughters, ages 7 and 11, and we live in a cozy house with access to Selby Lake with 2 roommates. We live in a beautiful little house in Dunham that we have renovated.

  Help

  The timeline is not yet precise but here is an approximate:
  
  -need a carpenter/joiner in May-June-July
  -need for volunteer and cook for hemp in June-July-August
  
  We are actively looking for someone with construction experience (carpenter/joiner) who would like to stay for several weeks.
  
  If you do not have experience in the field of construction, but you want to learn about the hemp technique, when we have reached the stage of forming the hemp walls, you could come and learn and help us in this stage where we will need a lot of volunteers.
  
  We will also need help in preparing meals to feed all the workers!
