Hempcrete Holiday in the Alps anyone?

Free food, and accommodation in the beautiful French Alps in exchange for your work casting hempcrete in a new build Alpine chalet.

The view from the site!

Summer’s (nearly) here… and the hempcrete season has begun! We’re posting this for some clients of ours who are self-building a timber frame and hempcrete chalet near Chamonix in the French Alps. They are looking for enthusiastic volunteers – preferably with some previous experience of building or practical skills, and an interest in sustainable construction  – to help with the hempcrete installation.

Start date: 13th June 2016 with people needed until mid/late July 2016. Minimum commitment 1 week, this can be extended by mutual agreement once on site.

if you have a particular skill in carpentry, you could start earlier (around 7th June) to help construct the shuttering.

In exchange for your labour during the hempcrete casting phase, the clients will provide:

• a chance to learn more about, and get hands on experience with, hempcrete
• free (shared) accommodation
• some time off to enjoy the beautiful surroundings
• free (communal) veggie meals

All you have to do is get yourself to the alps. Contact the clients for more information on the best transport connections.
