Honduras Bunk bed construction
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Location: Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Opportunity Type: Work Trip Adventures
Dates: March 15 - 23, 2019
UPDATE: We are considering setting up a bed making factory right in Myrtle Beach SC for this project. We'll be using a local warehouse to cut, assemble, weld, grind and paint all 120 bunk beds. Over 22,000 pounds of steel will enter this project so a lot of people are going to be needed. No housing is included but we do ask for $15 per day to help out with morning and noon meals. You can bring your own equipment such as wire-feed welders, helmets, gloves, grinders, ext cords, paint brushes, sprayers, wiping rags, etc. Write or call for more details. One week of full projection!!!! Sign up ASAP on this one. The property is only a few years old and 120 metal bunk beds needed to furnish the 10 dorms. Fabrication of the beds is necessary from the design, metal cutting, welding, sanding, painting and assemble. Are you a welder? Can you work with steel? Can you paint? If you answered no these questions we can teach you. So are you ready to go? This team needs you! There could also be work on the dorm ceilings and the mini golf course depending on the size of the team going.
Campers need places to sleep and you say "you already knew that." They have wooden beds but they just don't hold up to the camper activity or better said to the excitement of so many youth... if you understand what we mean. The new metal beds will replace the household beds that are falling apart and make for better sleeping condition.
