    Description

    I am interested in Heritage projects, have a thatched house and doing an upgrade of house and garden.We are on the sea and lots of water activity opportunities, hill walking etc.I hope to film the Thatching to increase the awareness of preservation of this skill, possibly get some coverage on National Television.I am also interested in classic boats and restoration of same. The garden needs some clearance and organisation.We have professionals doing the thatching so it will only be observation learning about their work. I and and my partner will be working with professionals painting etc and gardening, we just need some assistance.
