nice place to stay, great food, free homebrew while you help me design and build my home's RMH (and maybe a few other things if you stay longer).
We live right on the edge of Cape Breton Highland's National Park in Cheticamp.

We have a nice 26 ft guest trailer, so there is a private space for woofers.
Looking for someone May-Sept - anytime this year.

Hi Kelly.

Wow. What an offer. I was out your way last August with my better half's family in tow. I will let you know if she's amenable.

I was part of an RMH build in a reclaimed industrial space turned community space. Even if I can't come out, I would love to see what you're looking for in a design. Have you posted about your design elsewhere? Otherwise, could you tell us a bit about your plans?

Good luck!

-CK

yeah - design is pretty tricky - basement with wood floors. Space issues, too. Old farmhouse.
Looking at a bell-type bench with a large masonry stove style of expansion chamber.
Really want someone to help with ideas for it, though.
If anyone is good at design, I can send photos. I would even pay someone a bit to design it.

Thinking about pouring some high stem walls into cinderblock in the basement for structural support.

That's a good opportunity.  Looks like I'll be going to Ontario to help on something so I'd like to see more of Eastern Canada while I'm at it. I've worked on some RMH builds and lots of other design challenges. Was member of a stove designing group. I'll PM you. Thanks.
