  Beschreibung

  My name is Leif. I am a quiet and calm man aged 62, I am divorced and live alone on the farm. It is an old farm and it needs DIY and repairs. Since I am mostly alone here, help is needed from time to time. Since the weather is changing here in the north of Norway, it's a good idea to have rainproof clothes and shoes that can be used both for work and for walks in the woods and fields.It is equally important to have clothes that are suitable for the season, but do not necessarily need to be rainproof.
  
  I want to clarify that these are projects that I do not earn money from, but I want to put these things in order to have good facilities fore my family and friends and helpers on the farm. If you want and have time for it, you are welcome to lend a helping hand, which means that these things will be completed and can be put to use somewhat earlier than if I do everything myself.
  
  Behoved is both outside and inside.as well. Renovating some windows in the barn, I want them to look like they do today. But it is impossible to order, so I renovate 2-3 windows per year by making posts, cutting glass and painting and oiling these windows. This is a lot of work, but it will be beautiful and preserves a story from a bygone era. I am looking for people who have experience with carpentry, plumbing, mechanics, cleaning and making food help in the home, as well . I have a desire to renovate the barn so that it is possible to create a sauna/shower and also a home fore rabbits. This is a long-term project. I hope you find it interesting to help with the project. I had slimming surgery a few years ago, this means that some foods are not compatible with my stomach, so the dinners mainly consist of fish dishes and clean products with no added flour, and that I cannot tolerate so much food that creates gas in the stomach ( here we can mention peas, onions, sausages, fishcakes and almost all types of cabbage, I can hardly eat pork either after the operation). If you can follow me on this, I will be happy to cook and eat dinner with you. If you have to use special diets, you are welcome to shop and prepare this here in the kitchen. I live in the perfect place for northern lights and midnight sun, close to the fjords, the oceans and the mountains 1.5 - 2 hours driving to the lovely Vesterålen, Lofoten and Senja. Harstad and Narvik, are the nearest cities about 1 hour's drive from Grovfjord, some travelers like to visit this towns.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Hello workawayers, and welkome to my site. I hope that you will find it intresting. Helping at my place will give you knowledge about northern norwegian and some sami culture. Sometimes I can offer trips and nature experiences, depending on season, it can be boat trips, fishing trips, Mountain hiking, skiing... Etc. Of the sights in Grovfjorden, one can mention the House in the Sea, which is an old school building that is today mainly used for cafe operation and rental for various events. It is not open every day, but the locals try to stay open on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year. In the summer it is open each day.We also have a power plant museum about 5 km from where I live, sometimes can I make an agreement about a guided tour of the museum. We have many marked hiking trails in the local area and a trip on the "Krigstien" can be especially exciting, den forteller om 2. Verdenskrig i Grovfjord, it tells about World War II in Grovfjord. If you have a qr scanner on your phone, you can use this in several languages. There are on display copies of fex a cannon and one which the occupiers also set up trenches used to stop the allies' attempt to recapture Grovfjord, after it had fallen. The information is in several languages ​​and there is also additional information on the qr code that can be scanned, this is also in several languages. When it comes to the paths in the area, these are often named after who used or found the best route from one place to another, this is also the sign. Grovfjorden is a fjord whit open sea all year round, but where the inner part of the fjord is iced over in winter. It is a good fishing fjord that can be fished both from land and by boat. There is also a private man who has collected objects and tools from ancient times and this may also be worth a visit. I would be happy to arrange for you at the weekends if you would like to visit sights in the immediate area such as Senja, Lofoten, Vesterålen or other places. However, it is a prerequisite that the costs for the trip are agreed in advance
