this year it's some extra hands needed for cleaning indoors unpainted wood roof and walls. That's a special old norwegian cleaning teknik, heavy work. Also outdoors maintaining and helping out ass an assistent to art projekt is posible to combine whit the heavy work.
I could also use a pair of extra hands for small projects, building, maintenance, renovation and wall painting, indoors weekly cleaning and so on. Please tell us what your work preferences are and we will try to match that up with our needs (i.e. do you prefer inside or outside work). I need to translate some English text into different languages - especially Russian, Hindi, Arabic and Chinese, but also other languages
