Beschreibung
Hello, I am Carmen, a single mom and part time employed at a school, part time hand analyst. My son is 24 and studying and living in Ghent. My home is located between Antwerp and Ghent, in the Flemish region of Belgium, in a town called Melsele. You will have your own space with internet access, shared tv and bathroom. I cook fresh meals every day. In your spare time you can easily explore as I am located very central with good public transport.
I dream of living independent close to nature, and my first step is building a natural home, as much off the grid as possible. The working site is in Hamme, half an hour drive from where I live.
The normal schedule is that we work all day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These 3 days can vary in August. The rest of the week you have free time. Its nice if you can stay 2 weeks, maximum one month.

My home in Melsele (Beveren Waas) is located in the heart of the Flanders region. You can easily explore the cities of Antwerp and Ghent. There is lots of things to do and fun things to visit.
Flanders is know for its good food, local beers, chocolate...and warm hearted people.
Arbeit
If you are interested in learning about natural building or gardening, you are very welcome.
I will be building a straw bale house as much off the grid as possible.
I started in February 2023 with putting together the wood frame. We have been filling it up with straw bales and are now in the process of plastering the outside. I have been doing all my pipes, wires and utilities myself.
At this point I am installing floors, installing my kitchen.
Soon we will install the bathroom and toilet. For now I just have a compost toilet in the working site. You do have all the luxuries where we are staying, no worries.
Depending on witch period you would like to stay I can offer different opportunities to learn. If you have a dust allergy or have back problems, this might not be the right choice for you.
You just have to be handy and willing to learn about building. If you have building experience it is very welcome.
It is very physical work of course and if you have good work shoes it is useful if you bring them.
My focus is not only on building, but also the place outside becomes more important. I can use help with preparing my woodpile, in the garden, in the forest... So if you are familiar with gardening and landscaping you are also very welcome.

Unterkunft
You will have your own space with internet access, shared bathroom and TV. You will be staying in my house in Melsele where you have all the comforts of home. I provide bread for breakfast & lunch, and cook 1 fresh meal every day for dinner.
Whenever we go to the building site, I will take you there by car (half an hour drive).
