DISILLUSIONED FROM SENDING INVITATIONS AND GETTING NO REPLIES . . . GIVING IT A BREAK FOR A WHILE . . . A small-holding near the coast, 15 km. from the Atlantic Ocean. English and Gaeilge (Gaelic) spoken - an opportunity to improve your English and also learn some basic Gaeilge (Gaelic)! Railway and bus stations within 1 km. Small, medieval town with narrow streets only 1 km. away (5 minutes walk). Regular train and bus service to Galway City (20 minutes). Sandy Blue Flag beach only 20 minutes away. Full day off each week. N.B! I reply to ALL messages from Workawayers. Now and then, for some weird reason, messages seem to get lost in cyberspace. If I have not replied to you within 3 days, PLEASE send your message again because I haven't seen it. Thanks!

I'm a former repairer and designer with a vast amount of experience in building and rebuilding properties. I live together with my Ukrainian wife (a teacher for Russian, Ukrainian, German and English) in a remote village in between Sewastopol and Yalta, located in the beautiful mountains and surrounded by nature and quietness. All the best sight seeing attractions on the Crimea are within 50km from where we live. We are a German and Russian speaks Family. Due to a work related illness I have lost some function in my hands, which means that I can still show other people how to do some of the necessary works, but am not able to fulfil them myself long term. Ich bin ein ehemaliger Restaurator mit viel Erfahrung im Um und Ausbau von Häusern und lebe sei 8 Jahren mit meiner ukrainischen Ehefrau und unseren zwei Töchtern in einem kleinen Dorf auf der Krim. Zwischen Sewastopol und Yalta in herrlichen Bergen. Bei uns bekommen sie Anschluß an Familie, Freunde und ukrainische Kultur. Wir werden gemeinsam arbeiten und alle anfallenden Fragen auch gemeinsam entscheiden. Ich suche für 1-2 Monaten einen Praktikanten der wirklich lernen will. Bei gegenseitigem Gefallen können es auch 1-2 Jahre werden. Was kann man machen um ein gutes, praktisches, ökologisches Haus zu bauen? -wie muss man ein Grundstück mit Haus planen, ganzheitlich, denn alle Einzelheiten bedingen einander -wie kommt man zu einem fast geschlossenen Wasserkreislauf -wie plant/baut man eine Abwasserbehandlung und integriert diese in das Gesamtkonzept des Grundstückes -wie baut man einen Brunnen und wie verlegt man Wasserleitungen -wie baut man einen Ziegelofen, der das ganze Haus beheizt und das Wasser erwärmt und wie kann man das mit einer Solaranlage kombinieren -was ist wichtig, was unnötig bei der Wärmedämmung -warum gibt es Schimmel in den Ecken moderner Häuser Sämtliche Bauwerkzeuge und Spezialgeräte habe ich und alles funktioniert ausgezeichnet. Nur leider funktionieren meine Hände nicht mehr so recht. Deswegen suche ich junge Leute die bei mir etwas lernen WOLLEN und mir helfen das Haus fertig zu bauen.

We are a uncomplicated family of 3, I'm originally from Switzerland, hubby from here, and Teenage daughter, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 rabbits, a guinea pig and chickens. We have a pretty big garden. We enjoy working and improving our environment. We like to do all of the work ourselves. We build a alternative passive Solar house from scratch, and it's not a square box, north side has 3 circles with different dimensions, mostly out of Adobe, we live on the bottom of a 12'000 foot mountain, elevation here is 7000 feet (2000m) We love art, music, being creative, alternative Architecture, Interior design, organic gardening, Active/passive Solar energy, recycling, re-using, simple, mindful, harmonies living. Living kind of ''outside the box''. We are used to and enjoy living with other people. We are looking for energetic, positive, communicative people, that can contribute to our lives (and visa versa) learning from each other. At the moment we are constructing a new Greenhouse (that just got finished, thanks to all of you that came to help!!) and now a bathroom. We love color, and being creative when building. Input always welcome. Comes summer, we are hoping to start building another house, (hopefully it will end to be an Earth house) and we will be needing a lot of help. We are still in the planning stages, could use help with design, ideas and drawings, and later construction. We have a good sized guestroom for you. It is important to find a good match. Do not like flaky, unreliable, dishonest people! Would prefer long term, 1- 3 month, trial base a week or so, to see how well we live and match together. Please don't just ''shop'' around, and waste mine and your time.

We are a blended family that live on a farm near Kelowna, BC. We are perpetually busy as we run a kitchen cabinet business from our home and also have a vacation rental home on the same property and in the summer months we have a vegetable garden and take in 'wwoofers'. I work as a nurse and brett works from home. We have five dogs and three cats! We enjoy having visitors and seeing how much they enjoy being on our acreage and exploring the area. We have a beautiful home on 12 acres of property approximate 6 km from the city. The area is abundant with lakes and hiking areas, history and tourism attractions.
