Would have liked Aleš to have stayed a little longer, however it wasn't meant to be. His standard of woodwork is incredible and very much appreciated.
Unfortunately whilst he was here we were without our car, which can make life difficult as we are quite remote.

Not just in regards of the work itself but also when it comes to which tools to buy for which job.

Ales was a great workawayer for two weeks. Very few workawayers can work so professionally. His woodwork is incredible in finesse and precision. A real professional job! But also in all areas of construction. But Ales also knows how to adapt to the more artistic and vaguer style of my houses in Fitou. In summary Ales has been a very valuable help… read more
