Help Hank Build Housing for Volunteer Farm Workers
Donation protected
Hi Folks!
In two short weeks I'll be driving south to Georgia to build a new 16 x 16 timber frame bunkhouse for volunteer farm workers at Salamander Springs Permaculture & Educational Farm in Milledgeville, GA. Salamander Springs is a place embedded deep within my heart where I recieved an education, an inspiration and much love nearly a decade ago. In total I spent about 6 months living there.
Recently, their housing has fallen victim to the damp Georgia weather, and I have volunteered my time yet again to build a new bunkhouse for folks who are working and living there just as I did a decade ago. The timberframe is cut and loaded onto my trailer - Hardwick Post and Beam donated the timbers and I spent a recent weekend cutting the joinery.
Now, I am asking all of you to donate so that we may finish the bunkhouse top to bottom, complete with modern amenities such as a floor, a roof, and even walls! It is a simple undertaking and yet will mean the world to this place that has given me so much. Please, if you can, help me meet this goal and give Debbie Waugh (the owner and matriarch of Salamander Springs) a dream come true.
Thank you all so much. Many pictures to come!
