  Beschreibung

  Hello, my name is Bridget and I own a small acreage 2 hours west of Ottawa, Canada in an official ghost town that is brimming with interesting characters and stories. I have lived very happily here for about 4 years.
  
  My property has about 4 acres of forest, 3 acres of pasture with a small pond, and 3 acres of land with a house and various other barns and sheds. The area is hilly with lots of forests, rocks, and water. There are many interesting small towns within a 15-30km distance. The closest town, Killaloe, has a community run radio station where I do a radio show called "Walking on Air".
  
  The living space is a small, clean and in good condition. There are two bedrooms available on the second floor and there are somewhat steep chairs to get to them. Workawayers would have their own bedroom and bed. Meals and/or food for preparation will be provided. There are laundry facilities in the basement and a full bathroom on the main floor. Internet is available on both floors through an eithernet connection. There is no plan to get wifi.
  
  Seasonally I work around the corner (less than 1km away) at a top notch chemically-free salad greens and market garden operation called "Go Greens". A large quantity of my nourishment comes from my employers. There may be opportunity to connect with Go Greens for employment, apprenticeship and/or food.
  
  There are many exciting plans for the property. I like to experiment with all kinds of ideas and I am working towards improving the energy efficiency of the house. I am also working towards creating a sculpture park, developing an independent media hub, improving my chicken coop and fencing.
  
  What happens first will depend on who shows interest in the plans.

  Arbeit

  It would be helpful to find travellers who are creative and have welding and/or building skills. Those that enjoy using waste as building materials would also be an asset. There is an area on the property that has a lot of waste metal and wood that could be used to help create a sculpture for the park or some of the materials maybe used for chicken coop improvements.
  
  The types of jobs that I would like help with:
  -cleaning out barns and sheds
  -maintenance and improvements of house, barns and sheds
  -reconstruction of a hen house
  -updating website and maintenance of an apple computer
  -producing large outdoor sculptures that require welding
  -setting up an outhouse
  -improve fencing
