construction of video studio interior (set walls, light electrical, cabling, acoustic insulation)

bucking and splitting logs for firewood

Requirements

Experience: At least 2-3 years in general handyman or property maintenance roles, with a range of skills

Physical Ability: Comfortable climbing ladders, using hand and power tools, lifting 50 pounds, operating machinery (e.g., plow truck, Polaris UTV), and performing physical tasks at high altitudes (the property is at 10,000 feet elevation)

Transportation: Reliable personal transportation with four-wheel drive and snow tires is required

Location: Preference for candidates who live in the mountains nearby, but open to all applicants that are comfortable to commuting daily to 20-minutes beyond Idaho Springs
