Help
Riveting expert wanted.
Come spend an unforgettable summer by a pristine headwater lake in a biodiversity reserve. we are looking for a skilled person to help restore an icon. My Airstream trailer. This is a high precision project. I am looking for someone experienced with aviation style riveting, buck rivets or Olympic rivets. The mission is to strip the inside and redo the structural riveting. Experience in aluminum bodywork or aircraft structures is needed. What's in it for you? A private room or a small cabin, great food and access to a permaculture garden, TV, Internet and a mini fridge. Full lake access, paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming and hiking . A calm, respectful and warm environment in the heart of nature. I'm looking for someone independent, patient and above all comfortable with neurodiversity. You will be part of a caring human environment where kindness is key. This is perfect for someone who loves the silence of the woods and unique restoration projects. If you are ready for this technical challenge in the middle of the woods, please contact me and tell me about your experience with metalwork or riveting.
