  Beschreibung

  We are a family who moved to an 1.5 hectare old vegetable farm in Laugarás in Biskupstungur, and we intend to make an artist residency, retreat and a ceremonial space.
  
  There is all kinds ot of things that need to be done and we are looking for people who know how to build things and have some knowledge of carpentry painting gardening plumbing or just about anything resourceful for this kind of project, like a can do attitude, common sense, solution thinkin and a sense of humor :)
  
  The buildings and greenhouses need all kind of care and maintenance and our job would be to get them up and running and ready for all kinds of creative work along with some general tasks around the garden and the estate.
  
  Then we have 2 other buildings... a 90 sqm glass greenhouse that we want to have as a ceremonial room of all sorts but needs a little TLC before and then there´s Skemma a 280 sqm former greenhouse wich is covered up with aluminum on the side and half translucent plastic roof that is painted so it gives a good shade, there we have a carpentry and artist workshop along a sort of a common space with coffe and couches. There we will need help with organising and all kinds of different odd jobs that come along the way.

  Arbeit

  Right now we are looking for someone to help with cleaning the guesthouse, we pay an hourly rate for that to our helpers.. attention to detail is important and we prefer the have persons who dont mind cleaning for that job.
  there are many other projects though such as maintenance of all kinds, painting, decorating, cleaning, gardening, organizing and whatever comes up, so it would definitely help to have an open and resourceful mode of thinking.
  People with carpentry skills or any other type of handyman skills especially welcomed ☺️
  We can offer minimum wage for helpers who come from EU and can legally work in Iceland.

  Was noch ...

  Laugarás is the epicenter of the golden circle with to many nature sights close by to mention. There is a bus that runs from the laugarás twice a day that goes to Selfoss where you can take the bus all around Iceland and maybe specially around all the south in a matter of hours.
  And both of us go to Selfoss very often and Reykjavik at least once a week.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  We would figure that out together. We don´t have fibre net at the moment but i think they are just finishing putting in the houses. But we just use a 4g router from Nova and that has worked fine.
