Description
We are 4 families. We built our one houses (we built 440 m2) in wood and strawbales, in a village just near Montpellier, France.
You wish to be a part of the great adventure of participatory construction? Fantastic!
We have lived in this setting some unforgettable moments and created friendly relationships, to prepare ourselves to our own construction.
Now, it's our turn to welcome those that would like to discover, to learn some techniques, to take your mind off, to meet people...
You can come for two weeks, it's a good time. You will be received by one family. The construction begun three years ago ! (may 2013) So long work ! We did protection of strawbales with earth and sand and lime, and continue inside the houses. The end of project maybe in december 2016.
In september 2016, we need help to do cladding (200m2). We beging september the 10th and we hope we will finish 20 days after. For the first time of the adventure, we would like to recieve some one who knows the work, the wood, or some one who knows building trade, and to finish some one who is not scared of heights ! Welcome !
¿Tiene ganas de entrar en la gran aventura de la construcción cooperativa ? ¡Genial !
Vivimos en este marco numerosos momentos inolvidables y creamos lazos de amistad : así nos preparamos para nuestra propia obra.
Ahora nos toca acoger aquellas y aquellos que tienen ganas de descubrir, de capacitarse, de cambiarse las ideas, de dar una mano con habilidad, de conocer gente...
Puedes venir por una semana o dos. Una de las familias del proyecto te recibirá. La construcción empezó en mayo del 2013. Tanto trabajo ! Hicimos masilla sobre paja y todavia paja ! Hicimos las paredes dentro de casas, con pintura, masilla y cositas para acabar los espacios, poco a poco. El final del proyecto esta previsto para el invierno 2016.
En septiembre 2016, necesitamos ayuda para poner lamas de madera al exterior (200m2). Empezamos esta obra el 10 de septiembre para acabar los esperamos veinte dias despues. Por la primera vez de la aventura, nosotros queremos recibir alguien que conoce el trabajo, la madera, o que sabe cosas de construccion, .... y que no tiene mareo en altura ! Bienvenido !
Bonjour !
Tu as envie d'entrer dans la grande aventure de la construction participative ? Super ! Nous avons vécu d'inoubliables moments nous-mêmes dans cette démarche et avons créé des amitiés : nous préparions ainsi notre propre chantier.
Maintenant c'est à notre tour d'accueillir celles et ceux qui souhaitent découvrir, apprendre, se changer les idées, apporter leur compétence, rencontrer des gens....
Tu peux venir pour une semaine ou un mois. Une des familles du projet t'hébergera. Nous avons commencé le chantier en mai 2013. (trois ans déjà !) Beaucoup de travail ! La fin du chantier est prévue pour décembre 2016.
En septembre 2016, nous allons réaliser le bardage bois extérieur (200m2). Pour la première fois depuis le début de l’aventure, nous souhaitons recevoir quelqu'un qui connait le travail, ou qui a déjà travaillé le bois, ou qui connait le bâtiment et ... qui n'a pas le vertige en hauteur ! Bienvenue !
