Looking for professional builders help

Post by Amelie+ » Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:08 pm

Dear dusty souls,

It's going to be our 11th burn and bringing a mutant vehicle concerted from an ice cream car.
We lost some of our core team on the way and are looking for a professional builder to help us assemble it in California in July and August. I would be grateful for any leads and happy to invite collaborators to stay in our camp, grant a ticket, and anything else!

Thank you!

Darling,

You gotta spruce up this post if you want to get any kind of useful information.

Ask vague questions and you’ll get silly answers.

Start with the Where, When, What.

Where in California - it’s a mighty big place.

When are you building this - is it a bunch of world-wide folks over a month time or starting today?

And finally, what kind of builder are you looking for? Lumber, bamboo, steel, aluminum, hydraulics, electrical …??? Where are your skill gaps and what do you need for your design?

A story goes a long way in attracting talent.

Thank you for the great advice, Token, you are absolutely right.
Narrowing our search:

1. We are looking for a few builders in California, Fallbrook, starting the 25 of June!
2. We will need to cut and paint wood parts and cut the metal of the truck and attach decorations to the metal part,
and also will need an electrician to connect the lights.

thank you!
please email me at [email protected]

Thank you!
Amelie

If you were near the San Francisco or Sacramento area I could help but sorry that is too far.

Good luck with the project.
