  Description

  Welcome to the periphery of Berlin!
  I am a single and hard working mum with two children (9/14) on the borders of Berlin and actually almost in the middle of the woods and still within a five minutes bike ride to the S-Bahn (Erkner) to Berlin City Center. There are two cats and a dog sharing our old wooden house with us.
  At the moment I am looking for somebody skilled and willing to take up refurnishing jobs, cleaning and gardening Jobs in and around the house.
  
  Our home is an old wooden house from 1905 with a very interesting history. There is plenty of room/space, but also plenty of construction sites and ToDo's. The wooden walls need some sanding and paint, partly I would love to remove the paint from the doors and floors and install new floor cover. So it would be great if you have some skills with regards to wood and building. It is a plus if you know how to work electric tools and manual axt to do fire wood and fence building. In spring and summer, there are plenty of gardening tasks, building higher gardening spaces and so on. I need help with cutting the trees or picking weed and brushing leaves. These days as there is little light, I would appreciate help in cleaning the old windows.
  
  So maybe you find yourselve in one of these tasks and explore some other new things.
  So, you're very welcome to join in!
  Ute, Liv & Fred
