Activities & Shift
We typically work around 5 hours a day, and there’s no shortage of things to do. You might be sorting through old treasures in the attic or basement, taking on small maintenance tasks throughout the property, clearing and shaping the garden, painting and decorating, or even doing some light demolition work—like knocking down small walls, if you're up for it. The best part? We have tools for just about every job, so whatever your skills or interests, you'll find a way to contribute.
Rules
Our main rule is simple: enjoy yourself and take safety seriously. We provide protective gear like gloves, masks, and goggles, but we do ask that you bring comfortable work shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
