  *MUST BE VACCINATED - NO EXCEPTIONS*
  
  *Please note: Since my projects and timing are always changing, I'm unable to confirm any guests far in advance and prefer people contact me less than a month out of their requested arrival time
  
  I'm a 39-year-old woman with a passion for old architecture, travel, theater and the city of Detroit!
  
  I am currently renovating an old house from 1909, including adding new bathrooms, a new kitchen, painting, finishing floors and general sprucing.
  
  At the moment, I'm especially interested in someone who can assist with some finishing work, that includes sawing/putting up wood trim and lighting fixtures and some heavy lifting. I could also use help with cleaning, organization and decluttering.
  
  CONDUCT: Workawayers must be sober while inside of my house. While I don't mind if you have a couple of drinks, it is absolutely not acceptable to be drunk or under any other substances while here. This is for the protection of myself and my dog, not to mention all the hard work and money that has been invested in this house.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I know the city well and am an excellent tour guide! I can take you to the coolest parts of Detroit and help you navigate the city to make the best of your time here. I am also very well-connected here, so if there's something you're particularly interested in (art, architecture, history, jobs, etc.) I can probably connect you with someone.
  
  You would also have the opportunity to expand or improve upon your home maintenance skills!

  Arbeit

  Organizing, woodwork, painting, moving heavy objects, hanging things (frames, decorations, etc.).
  
  Specialty skills (dry wall, plumbing, etc.) would also be appreciated but not necessary.

  Unterkunft

  I have a huge three-floor, five-bedroom house...currently under renovation. You would have your own room, complete with a full-sized bed as well as bedding, towels and closet/dresser space.

  Was noch ...

  Detroit is changing rapidly, and the energy here is amazing!
  
  The city has beautiful historic architecture, as well as great museums like the Detroit Institute of Art, the Motown Museum and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. Detroit is also about 45 minutes away from Ann Arbor, a great day trip-worthy college town.
  
  Detroit has limited transportation, so having your own car would be ideal (street parking is available). A bike would also be great and could take you to the QLine that goes through downtown.
  
  Lifestyle: I am fairly straight edge, so absolutely no drugs or smoking at my house or excessive partying. I also have a fairly quiet lifestyle. Mostly looking for basic consideration and manners :).
  
  I love singing, dancing, theater, karaoke, bonfires and board games, so let me know if you're down for any of these things :).

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  I have wi-fi and also work remotely. There's no designated office space, but Workawayers can work from their bedrooms or the third floor spare room (which has a table), or share one of the downstairs spaces with me.

  I am open to hosting well-behaved dogs, but sorry, no cats.
