Description
Hello,
I live in a big old traditional French house 15mn from the sea in the southwest of France next to Hossegor. I need help doing work at home as I renovate part of the house. I have a 5 years old little surfer at home with me. My husband travels a lot between London, NY & LA and in the meantime I do my best to get the house in order. And I always need help around the house. From giving me a hand with my son to moving furniture and’ organizing the house to actual wood work, stone work, painting etc etc... :)

Help
I need help with wood construction (doors for shed, barn door, window frame, shelves to be made), painting rooms, tiling & general gardening. I would also be happy to get help moving furniture around and organizing the place. I have a big room to clear up & clean as well as a shed to organise. I have 2 sinks to install as well. I have a few garden furniture to paint as well as help to hydrofuge some exterior tiles!
I also need quite a lot of help putting clothes, shoes and furniture online that I want to sell but I always run out of time to do it with the work at home and my son! ;)

Accommodation
Beautiful bedroom with bathroom. I have 2 available. The house in from 1800 and the rooms have been renovated keeping a beautiful French countryside traditional house feeling. I love good food and I am very welcoming. I have a pool and big garden. The house is very big (380m2) so there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their time!
I am happy to cook and share cooking tips! Loads of good little restaurant also available in the area around me! A great place to try all the French delicacy!

We are 15mn from Hossegor & Capbreton (surfer paradise) - 20mn from Bayonne - 30mn to Biarritz - 40 mn to San Sebastián in Spain and 1h30 to Bordeaux - 1:30 from ski resorts!
