Help me renovate our ancient olive-oil mill and explore the beauty of Corsica, France

Beschreibung

Help me maintain/renovate our Corsican olive-oil mill near a small mountain village in the Balagne-region. There are numerous maintenance projects, so this would really best suit someone who has some masonry and carpentry skills.

This is an old olive oil mill, situated in a valley below a tiny mountain village. We are about a 25 minutes drive from some amazing beaches. Our property is at a cul-de-sac, along a creek with waterfalls, and with numerous terraces which used to be cultivated (fruit trees, etc.)

If you are an artist (sculptor/woodworker, for example) there is the possibility to set up a studio/atelier.

This would fit someone who would like to improve their French. I speak English, French, German, and Swedish fluently; Spanish conversationally.

I'm very knowledgeable about Corsican history, culture, and architecture, which I'm always happy to share.

Arbeit

Helping me with basic masonry and carpentry.

* Some gardening (weeding and cutting down dead branches).

* Take down antique roof tiles and sorting them.

* Cut down the ivy.

* Rebuild some crumbling stone walls.

* Replace window shutters (requires basic carpentry skills).

Unterkunft

Private room with a twin-size bed. This is for one person only. Sorry, no couples and no families!

Meals to be shared. I would provide the food. (I'm a chef, but it would be fun to occasionally cook together). 3 healthy meals/day cooked with love and mainly using local organic in-season ingredients.

It's a big house, but currently, there is only 1 bathroom, which we would have to share. There is a huge living-room/kitchen with a woodstove.

We have satellite TV and internet/WiFi.

Was noch ...

I'm pretty flexible, but I'll be looking for help for about 15-20 hours/week. The rest of the time would be yours.

We would share a car unless you bring your own, so it's imperative that you know how to drive stick-shift and have a valid driver's license with at least 3 years of proven accident-free driving (you would need to supply a certificate from your current car insurance).
