We have a number of different projects to offer, depending on your experience and skillset. Indoor projects include re-decorating a few rooms, painting some shutters and sanding and varnishing of kitchen cupboards. For those wanting to learn or who already have the experience there are a few pieces of mahogany furniture waiting to be re-polished. Outside, depending on the time of year, there are a variety of projects including property maintenance, such as painting windows, gutter clearing, cleaning algae from rendered and painted walls, gardening, woodland clearing, log cutting and wood splitting with an hydraulic splitter. If you have carpentry skills we can offer a few projects making doors and draft proofing an existing old victorian door. In the spring we will be filling potholes in the drive. For those who have mechanical skills we always have the odd maintenance job to be done on the Kubota tractor and hydraulics.
