  Beschreibung

  From April- July 2025, we have a number of projects coming up for which we really need support! See more info in the "Help"-section. We would be delighted if you would like to tackle these projects with us!
  
  ---------
  
  Located between Bayonne and Dax, and about 20km from the most beautiful beaches is a 300-year-old stone house. Between summer 2024 and summer 2025 we want to renovate it completely, while we stay there with our family for one year (we are originally from Germany). In the long term, we want to turn the house into a place for many people to spend time together.
  If you want to see the house, you can follow us on YouTube.
  
  Most parts of this beautiful old house have been renovated in the 1990s, though we want to make some changes to the design, layout of the house, some new windows, new bathrooms and kitchen, insolation of the roof (from the inside), installation of solar panels, gardening, new electrical installation... A lot of different crafts will play a role over time and with some of these tasks we would like to have volunteers helping us (e.g. painting, gardening, insulation).
  
  We have bought the property and house as three parties. We - the party who will live there while renovating for one year - are a family of six. Our kids aged between 0 and 16 are happy to have more people there and very welcoming for workaways to live there with us.

  Arbeit

  In April, Mai, June and July we have the following projects in mind.
  
  First: We want to renovate our old pool and make a nice space around it. Then there are some rooms that need new wooden floors. There is also always things to be painted and garden work for those who like this.
  
  In general we look at what our workawayers are interested in and try to make it a good experience.
