  Beschreibung

  We are a 4 people family (two grown kids that are here (or there). The little one (18 yo) is very sick so we need to spend time with they. We have many medical appointements and sometime intense stress related to this. That’s why we now need some help despite some uncertainties about our hosting availabilities.
  The mother is a natural healer (and firefighter, and organic grocery store owner, and aïkido teacher…), the father is geologist and science teacher.
  Open minded and liberal, of course…
  During the winter, the yard is usually snowy, but we need help with some carpenter work in and around the house. Actually, this year, there is no snow on the ground, so we already started to work outside…:-/

  Arbeit

  We own a quite large backyard (almost one hectare) of steep terrane. We planted tens of fruit trees, have a large productive garden and build every year new path, new flowerplaces, new place for animals (enlarge the hen house this year).
  So we need help for the animal feeding, taking care of the garden, cutting trees, wood and grass, removing weed and so on. Depending on the skills, we are planning to build a new productive garden close to the house, as well as a fence on the balcony and finish the inside wall of a room.
  
  —> For now, we mostly need someone skilled with carpentry and wood work, as well as heavy duty stuff outside (digging holes, tracing new paths and so forth…)

  We have a large trailer caravan with all the comfort just next to the chalet. We also have outside and inside places for cooking and eating.
  We will provide with fresh food from our organic grocery store and our garden, as well as meat (if desired) and eggs. We are cooking everyday and like that ! :-)

  Was noch ...

  We are living at 2km of the village, at the end of a small quiet road. The view on the mountains is breathtaking (we say « look, it’s nice today ») and the sun shines all day long. Sometime the weather is really crapy, too, with a dense mysterious fog, you can’t see your hand. Not often, thus…
  We have bikes that can be used.
