Description
I've been hosting since 2012 and so far have met a wonderful group of people through workaway. Lately however, I haven't been hosting due to work commitments, however this summer we are planning to work on the house from beginning of July to mid-September.
My project is to restore an old French farm house using original materials or recreating the original materials whenever possible. I can teach you about lime, wood working, clay and lime plaster, and stone work.
The next projects I'll be focusing on are finishing the interior of an upstairs room (build a floor, wiring, plastering etc) and working outside on stone wall repair, plaster repair and landscaping the outside gardens.
Many people who come do music, drawing, or other types of art and I've lots of space for that. If you'd like to come I suggest that you consider coming for a week and we see how it goes, if we all like each other at the end of the week then usually you are welcome to stay longer although sometimes, depending on my schedule, I have to leave for work.Types of help and learning opportunities

Depending on who is around, there is either an own room or a private space with bed and table in house with shared facilities. Flexibility is key as we wont know very much in advance who is going to be where. Still, you wont have to share a room with anyone, in either case it will be private.

There are three airports not far away, Toulouse-Blagnac, Pau and Lourdes. The nearest train station is Lannemezan. Many people use the covoiturage website.
