  Descrição

  My name is Leif. I am a quiet and calm man aged 62, I am divorced and live alone on the farm. It is an old farm and it needs DIY and repairs. Since I am mostly alone here, help is needed from time to time.
  
  I want to clarify that these are projects that I do not earn money from, but I want to put these things in order to have good facilities fore my family and friends and helpers on the farm. If you want and have time for it, you are welcome to lend a helping hand, which means that these things will be completed and can be put to use somewhat earlier than if I do everything myself.
  
  Behoved is both outside and inside.as well. Start with renovating some windows in the barn, I want them to look like they do today. But it is impossible to order, so I renovate 2-3 windows per year by making posts, cutting glass and painting and oiling these windows. This is a lot of work, but it will be beautiful and preserves a story from a bygone era. If you have experience with cars and other machines, that's great, because this is probably a neglected area. I am looking for people who have experience with carpentry, plumbing, mechanics, cleaning help in the home, as well . I have a desire to renovate the barn so that it is possible to create a sauna and shower. This is a long-term project. I have also related that I want to have some food rabbits outside in the summer, which will require me to make a rabbit enclosure. This must also have a bottom and side walls so that the rabbits cannot dig out, as well as a dry house where they can relax when the weather is bad. I hope you find it interesting to help with the project. Experience has taught me that it is better for all parties that we shop and prepare our meals ourselves, this is because we are different people who like different things. That is why I have set 4-5 hours of help per day on the farm, there is also nothing in the way of us doing for example 6-8 hours one day and then taking a few days off to do other things such as exploring and visiting others areas that you want to see.I live in the perfect place for northern lights and midnight sun, close to the fjords, the oceans and the mountains 1.5 - 2 hours driving to the lovely Vesterålen, Lofoten and Senja, Harstad and Narvik, which are the nearest cities about 1 hour's drive from Grovfjord, are also worth a visit for travellers. I am very happy to take you on such tours.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Hello workawayers, and welkome to my site. I hope that you will find it intresting. Helping at my place will give you knowledge about northern norwegian and some sami culture. Sometimes I can offer trips and nature experiences, depending on season, it can be boat trips, fishing trips, Mountain hiking, skiing... Etc. Of the sights in Grovfjorden, one can mention the House in the Sea, which is an old school building that is today mainly used for cafe operation and rental for various events. It is not open every day, but the locals try to stay open on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year,We also have a power plant museum about 5 km from where I live
  . We have many marked hiking trails in the local area and a trip on the "Krigstien" can be especially exciting, den forteller om 2. Verdenskrig i Grovfjord, it tells about World War II in Grovfjord. If you have a qr scanner on your phone, you can use this in several languages. There are on display copies of fex a cannon and one which the occupiers also set up trenches used to stop the allies' attempt to recapture Grovfjord, after it had fallen. The information is in several languages ​​and there is also additional information on the qr code that can be scanned, this is also in several languages. When it comes to the paths in the area, these are often named after who used or found the best route from one place to another, this is also the sign. Grovfjorden is a fjord whit open sea all year round, but where the inner part of the fjord is iced over in winter. It is a good fishing fjord that can be fished both from land and by boat. There is also a private man who has collected objects and tools from ancient times and this may also be worth a visit.

  Ajuda

  house: help with cleaning, washing, cooking, renovating some rooms in 2. floor
  
  Food: I will be happy if we can eat the food together and if you can take control of the kitchen. The only thing I have to make reservations about on the food side is if you have an intolerance to some food and a special diet, then you must prepare and buy what you are going to eat yourself.
  
  My next project is to Insulate several rooms in the barn, which will be used to keep birds and rabbits in winter. I also have an idea to take a room in the barn for accommodation in the summer. I also want to renovate the chimney in the barn and put in a new fireplace for cozy evenings with good friends and workawayers in the barn.
