    Description

    Hello, we are Polish-Slovak couple living with our two cats in a very calm area of island Madeira. I (Oktawia) am working remotely and my husband Tomas is renovating an old house we are living in. So we would love to host somebody who can help us with that.

    At the moment we are looking for someone who could help us with:
    - making a concrete roof above outside kitchen
    - making some small walls from blocks and conrete floor on the terrace
    - laying floor tiles
    - painting the house (exterior)
    - digging/preparing land for a new lawn
    - taking car of the cats + gardening in the period 1-8.05

    If you are an artist with experience in murals - also feel free to contact us.
    There is also an option to build quite big supporting wall made of stones and concrete. For this is necessary to have experience with similar construction.
    We prefer to host one person as we do not like crowds :) But we can discuss hosting a couples. And the ideal stay would be for around a week or two as we appreciate our privacy.
    In return we can offer a cozy room with tv and dvd's and private bathroom, ocean view and alternative/rock music playing around :)
