  Description

  Hi there! I just bought a typical dutch house next to the National Park of The Netherlands (Veluwe). I work as an architect and am going to renovate the house by myself but can use some help. It is my private home where I live alone. And would like to share and build my private house on the same time.
  I build with only biobased materials as wood, wool, hemp and cork. Would love to host a couple or 2 friends since I work 4 days a week but my working hours are flexible during the day and weekend. If you can work more hours and know how to build; I can offer you a payment. We can figure out the hours and salary before agreement.
  I have travelled around the world and also worked a lot via work away. So I have a lot of experience to share and know how to be a chill host :-)
