Description

Hi, my name's Jim and I currently live in North Wales. I'm having a year out from the 9-5 to see the world, meet new people and experience new things.

I have worked for 10 years within the construction industry in the UK. 5 Years spent as a Painter and Decorator and 5 years working as a Quantity Surveyor. I'm hoping to gain practical skills and knowledge of natural building techniques from around the world. My aim is to put the knowledge and skills gained into action when I return home to Wales. That being said, I'm happy to try any type of work out and will do my best at any task :)

I spend my spare time walking the hills of Wales and foraging / identifying mushrooms. I'm also a big lover of most music genres

More details about your skills

Since I was in school I have always had an interest in building and making things. I have been working in the construction industry in the UK for the last 10 years. For the first 5 years I was working as a Painter and Decorator, which then developed into me working as a Quantity Surveyor until present. I am an experienced painter and i'm interested in the production and application of natural paints (clay, lime etc). I am a hard worker and feel like I can contribute in a positive way in any natural building method.

I am also fascinated in mushrooms and pretty good at identifying, foraging a number of UK species :P

I have also been driving for 8 years with a clean driving license
