Description
Hello.
I would need help on my croft June-October from a handy and creative person or 2 people.
I need to dig out/clean and speed up my old water well but also with minor maintenance chores in the garden and in the house.
And happy to build a greenhouse from old windows that I have.
I like to use recycled materials and build from what is available, find solutions that are simple yet functional. So it is good if you are resourceful, creative, think "outside the box" and solution-focused.
The cottage is undisturbed, surrounded by meadows and forest but close to the small community of Runhällen in Heby municipality, Västmanland. It is an advantage if you have a car, but there is also a bus connection that stops nearby.
The house has a simple standard, there is electricity but no running water.
Outdoor shower with rainwater, lovely sauna and outdoor terrace.
Many fine nature and cultural areas can be explored up close.
During certain periods, you can also be a ”housekeeper” when I travel away with my CamperVan. So you need to be independent. But when I'm at home, I appreciate community, sitting by the fire, yoga, dancing, meditating, hiking, handcrafting, sauna….
I offer accommodation either in the cabin, in the loft of the house, tent, or if you have a CamperVan. So the stay and working hours/day can look different depending on the job we do... we can agree on that.
My wish is that your stay should be pleasant and contain both rest, socializing, hobbies, work and alone time in a nice balance.

Accommodation
I sleep in my CamperVan so there is a bedroom in the house and a bedroom in the loft of the house. Kitchen, living room with fireplace and family room. Sauna outside shower and outdoor terrace. The fire/cooking area is also outside and the dishes are mainly done outside. There is also a large tipi and a carpenter's shed. For larger jobs where you help 5 hours/day 5 days a week, food is included. If it's easier chores and more free time, "housekeeper" then you do your own.
What else ...
In addition to the wonderful nature that is everywhere around, it is close to several cities....Sala 15 km, Uppsala 50 km, Stockholm 150 km and there is a train from Heby which is about 8 km from the cabin.
