Help us build a Light Straw Clay house near Daylesford, Victoria, Australia

Descrição

We are looking for people who enjoy being outdoors and want to learn or share building techniques. We're building a house near Daylesford, Victoria. We are 10 minutes drive from Daylesford (natural spa and tourism region of Victoria). It is a friendly little village and we are building on 1 acre, next door to an lovely organic farm and 3 minutes walk from a general store that makes superb lunches/coffee. Rural, but not remote. We live in a neighbouring rental house with a spare room (double bed), plus lots of yard space for a campervan if that is your mode of travel. Right now we would love some help with building. If you are willing to help with carpentry - mainly helping attach battens, ceiling panels and that sort of thing, that would be awesome! Some gardening and cooking skills also welcome. We are a relaxed couple with a cat, we eat mainly vegetarian (some meat occasionally). Do get in touch!
