Hi folks, We are part time van dweller couple and full time homeowners here in Buena Vista, Colorado.  This summer I am installing a greenhouse and could use some help.

Not sure there is a protocol for this, but I have room for two RVs to park on my property, and am looking for 20 hours of paid help per week over 3 weeks.  Likely enough work for 3 individuals (negotiable I suppose).  Did I mention I am planning to pay for your help?  If you can run a wheel barrow, turn a wrench and work a shovel you are likely qualified.

What are we doing?  installing a growing spaces 26 dome greenhouse.  There is foundation work, concrete work, solar electric install, water system install, dome install. We will be working with a growing spaces professional who will guide the installation during the final week.  This is an off grid system, so fits with this community I would think.

I just thought folks here might be interested in helping me, hanging out in Buena Vista Colorado, making a few bucks, having a free place to park for three weeks.

Not sure how this will strike the community, but seek me out please if you are interested.

Frank.
 
Welcome to the CRVL forums Frank! Sounds like a great offer! There should be some folks on the forums that will be interested.

To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips, Tricks and Rules" post lists some helpful information to get you started.

Most of our rules boil down to two simple over-riding principles: 1) What you post should provide good information (like your introductory post), and 2) Any response to someone else's post should make them feel glad they are part of this forum community.

We look forward to hearing more from you.

A few more details on this...
Dates:
July 10th or so arrival
August 1s complete phase 1.

Work sequence (off top of my head)
... Finish foundation work. Retaining wall, concrete piers, fill dirt.
... Underground conduit runs (electric, water, heating pipes)
... Electric install
... Pump system install
... System checkout and operations diagnostics
... Formal dome installation with professional guide
... Wrap-up. Maybe work on the bed construction and fill dirt (likely beyond August 1)
 
Workforce comment. I will be working this about 50 hours a week even though I am asking for 20 hours of your time. I have a few folks here locally helping also, neighbors and such. I hope it will be a fun project.

If someone wants to document the event and post somewhere, that would be okay with me. Not my interest really.

cheers,
Frank.
 
make sure to get a "roadside stand" permit when finished. Lots of van dwellers roam Colorado in the summer and would love a spot to get fresh produce, particularly from someone who seems to know what they're doing
