The experience

Hi, my name is Stephen. I live in a small village in a lovely rural part of France just 30 minutes south of Poitiers. I am restoring my village house which is over 200 years old, the restoration work is being sympathetically done, I am looking for someone with either building skills or good at DIY skills. I would be pleased to have a French speaker as it would allow me to continue to learn the language, but everyone, no matter your language.
