but I am open to help people with special projects
PAST WORKSHOPS
Workshops will work on vaulted roofs; stair railings; terrazzo and counter tops; spraying and finish plaster, light weight and hard sculpture;doors and windows; stains and colors; garden benches; and anything else you specifically request.
What's Included:
DRUG WARS Avoid the border -- San Miguel is as safe as Santa Fe, NM. Don't wear gold jewelry and don't buy drugs -- no problem -- same as in Santa Fe.
Payment of Workshop Fee
Typical Workshop Topics:
Demonstrations Of: Wet Polishing (Terrazzo), Spraying With The Tirolessa, Bucket Mixer, Counter tops, Third World Bucket Lifte
The idea will be to work alongside a few of my guys on different projects. We will get an incredible amount done in a week - you will see the process in fast motion. My guys are used to "hands-on Gringos" so no problem there.
Weather in January and February is perfect - but bring a jacket.
For specific questions you can call me in the early evening CST at: 011 (52) 415 155 9526 (Please try e-mail before calling.)
YOU NOW NEED A PASSPORT TO RE-ENTER THE USA (Getting into Mexico is still easy)
