  Description

  Hello dear volunteers!
  My name is Lāsma. I am from a north-eastern country in Europe - Latvia.
  At this point, I have registered as a "host", but I have also gained experience as a volunteer myself, and one day I would like to gain such an experience again.
  About the project in which I would like to cooperate with a volunteer:
  I have a nice apartment of 26 square meters in Riga, the capital of Latvia. However, the apartment needs to renovate repair.
  I would like to attract a volunteer for this project who has experience in carrying out repairs and who would be happy to contribute in this field.

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  DIY and building projects
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am good at planning. And if the volunteer, with who I cooperate, will want, - I can gladly offer to help to plan the time which spent in Latvia to the fullest, in accordance with the volunteer's interests. As well as I would like within the limits of possibility financially support a volunteer's free time activities for which we have previously agreed.
  I won't be able to offer the volunteer a sense of community, and the volunteer has to reckoned will spend a lot of time alone, but for some, that's exactly what they need.

  Help

  The help I am looking for now is floor dismantling (for an area of about 24 square meters). Currently the flooring is laminate. But the floor is having problems because it has started to creak. Under the laminate there is OSB plate and under that is the old plank floor. It would be necessary to break up the floor (remove the laminate, OSB plate, as well as the old plank floor).
  I'm going to removing the laminate and OSB plate myself, but I would like some help for the dismantling of the plank floor. The floor boards are most likely nailed to the base. The work would be to pull every nail out of the floor boards so the plank floor can be removed.

  What else ...

  Latvia is a country with a 498 kilometer long border with sea. Theree is a lot of untouched nature here. Latvia is a green country - 52% of which is covered by forests - mostly conifers. There are many lakes here. It is easy to get to many points of interest in Latvia from my place of residence. Many important places in Latvia are easily reachable from my place of residence - the old city of the capital - Vecrīga, places rich in natural landscapes - Sigulda and Turaida, as well as the seaside towns - Saulkrasti and Jūrmala.
  There is a tram and train stop next to my house.
