    Hey!
    My name is Mette. I need help in my old house , and we need more hands the village. 🌸
    I own a small old house , she is built in 1830, and she (we) need help.
    This house is seated , 2 feet away from the ocean on an island called Reinøya.( quite close to Tromsoe.) 1,5 hours drive.
    You can go here by car and ferry.
    And local boat (30 minutes)from the senter of Tromsoe. (5 minutes walk from house.)
    My small house needs a lot of things;
    kitchen,bathroom, painting, etc,etc
    I am doing almost everything alone.
    Our village needs help around the "center" Pir, church, old school and houses, gardens etc.
    While working progress, we use caravan , neighbours houses as housing. The caravan is nice and cozy, quite warm too.
    I have no water, but collects water from our neighbour.
    We need people with practical skills,
    people who knows what needs to be done , and able to work alone.
    I go to work on daily basis.
