[Cob] apprenticeship

[Copper Harding]

We have openings for one, maybe two, apprentices this
spring and summer.  Your end date will be around frost
which is ususally the middle of September in northern
MN.  Start and end times are fully negotiable.  You
will spend (part-time) one to two months apprenticed
to a local non-profit learning solar PV and solar
thermal installations.  You will also be building,
working mainly with straw and earthen plaster.  There
will be two opportunities to work on living roofs this
summer as well as some unique strawbale designs.  You
must be able to lift 25 pounds and work heavy physical
labor 30 hours per week.  We are interested in someone
with mechanical ability and preference will be given
to applicants with strong mechanical ability,
experience with heavy equiment and building experience
(traditional or natural).  Women can meet these
requirements and are encouraged to apply.  You will be
provided with housing within biking distance of the
building site and a small living stipend.  Meals are
not provided except in certain "open to the public"
events. 

Would prefer someone interested in working with the
general public and with children as there are
opportunties this summer for public and educational
outreach within the local community.

We are located in a small rural town in north-central
MN.
