Description
My project is a renovation of my house. There is all sorts of help needed here, like DIY, carpentry, plastering, painting, electrics, plumbing etc. Ideally I need someone with this sort of skills, but common sense, bit of creativity and a can-do attitude can also work wonders.
I am trying to do the works possibly efficient, cost effective, and environment-friendly, e.g.: I use second hand materials or I modify things instead of buying new ones. It is important that you have positive outlook and are able to find SOLUTIONS rather than problems everywhere!
I provide accomodation and breakfast and dinner.
Working hours: 20 hours per week. Usually Monday to Friday 4 hours per day.

I’m a flexible, relaxed but organised person. I believe in modesty and simplicity of life. I like to laugh and joke around, nevertheless I'm well focused and I care about getting the job done.Help

What else ...
Spain is a country rich in culture and character. There's always something happening around. Algeciras is located by the sea. Has two beaches and a big port. It isn't really a typical Spanish seaside town. It's more of an industrial city. Rather poor, multicultural and authentic. You'll find here Morrocans, South-Americans, Gypsies or Eastern Europeans like me. :)
There are two very nice hikes you can do in nearby mountains. We are also in short distance (30min bus journey) from Tarifa - biggest in Spain surfing centre and same distance to Gibraltar - British overseas territory.A little more information

We stayed for 1 week and helped to do something at her terrace and others works, during the morning.

Working with Krzysia was very pleasant and stress-free and I highly recommend it!
I respect her willingness and persistence about improving her house by herself. I'm very glad to help here, and I hope she will finish everything on her list.
Krzysia is a very lovely, funny and sensitive person what made the communication very nice and comfy but sometimes a bit complicated too.
The work in the house was fun. We learned a lot. Krzysia is exceedingly… read more
