    Description

    We are a family of 7 including a dog, but the two oldest aren't living here any more. I am a freelancing classic musician and my wife is a social care worker, our two sons are 8 and 10 and our 9 month old dog is always up for playing. We are living in a small town near Rottweil in the vally of the river Neckar between the black forest and the swabian Alps.
    We bought our house 6 years ago but we don't get to an end with all the work around the house. We still need to do a lot of building projects and would like help for that! It might help if you know a little bit about working with concrete, wood or have general crafting knowledge. It's always a learning and planning by doing process, so often we can't say how to do it excactly at the beginning, because the circumstances are changing during the work.

    What else ...

    We are living close to the black forest and the Bodensee right at the Neckar. You could go on day-trips and when we are free we gladly join you, otherwise there's a train station 7km away and the bus is going on workdays into the bigger citys. In our village is a really nice hiking route along a little river and also a lot of opportunities to bike (We might have one for you, maybe you have to repair it first, but it's yours for the time you are here). In summer we have almost every weekend some small festivals, in winter you can visit some nice christmas-markets in the area and in the new year our special carnival parades.
