The Experience

We have an older property that needs fixing as well as a few projects to build Tiny Homes. Work around the property would be regular home maintenance. We will be moving a bunch of "stuff" from behind the shop to build a deck. Stuff like that.

In two months living with these guys I feel like I grew up years, I learned a lot from everyone, I made friends that I will remember forever, it was an experience that certainly changed my life and my way of looking at it.

Darren is a unique engaging generous and unselfish man. Committed and authentic would succinctly sum up his world view and the direction he sees himself heading with his work. The Mental Health Charitable Projects he is working on are his lifes work. I wouldn't have missed this opportunity for the world and I'd like to return at a later date to see how things are developing. No pressure and a free form approach was evident in the weekly schedule which was nice. Darrens house is a mecca for interesting people and there is never a dull moment. Everything was perfect, sad to leave.
