    Small house with big garden near the Baltic Sea (1h) seeks helpers for house and garden

    We are two dropouts from Berlin who bought a house in Western Pomerania 8 years ago and have since expanded it themselves. Everything without big money, everything on a modest scale, it should remain quite original.
    So we are searching for people that are also critical of consumerism, close to nature and who lead modest lives; they will find their way in our simple house. After all, we have Internet and telephone and now also a fridge for the summer.
    Since our house can not be heated in all rooms in winter, we are primarily looking for people for the summer months.
    Over the summer many friends and families visit us; It can be turbulent even when children are there. You should like that.


    Kleines Haus mit großem Garten in Ostseenähe (1h) sucht Helfer für Haus und Garten

    Wir sind zwei Berlin-Aussteiger, die sich vor 8 Jahren ein Haus in Vorpommern gekauft haben und es seitdem selbst ausgebaut haben. Alles ohne großes Geld, alles in bescheidenem Rahmen, es soll recht ürsprünglich bleiben.
    Wer also auch konsumkritisch, naturnah und bescheiden lebt, der findet sich in unserem einfachen Haus gut zurecht. Wir haben immerhin Internet und Telefon und neuderdings auch einen Kühlschrank für den Sommer.
    Da unser Haus im Winter nicht in allen Räumen beheizt werden kann, suchen wir vorranging Leute für die Sommermonate.
    Über den Sommer kommen uns immer viele Freunde und Familien besuchen; es kann also auch schonmal turbulent werden, wenn Kinder dabei sind. Das solltest Du mögen.

    We live in a small 90-soul village; The Baltic Sea is an hour away by car via the island of Usedom.
    Anklam as the nearest supermarket is 16 km away. Supply buses arrive in the village (bakers, butchers, fruits & vegetables).
    Behind our village, the landscape protection begins Large Landgrabental, a paradise for flora and fauna.
    Here you can make wonderful bike trips, castle ruins, manors, forests, lakes.

    We always have a lot of little projects around our house and the gardens:
    setting new garden fence posts, cutting trees, mowing the grass, choping wood and take the weed off our beds. You will find something that you like to do.
    And of course there is help in the house like cooking and cleaning. Every day life...

    Wir haben immer eine Menge kleinerer Projekte rund ums Haus und die Gärten:
    Wände mit Lehm verputzen, Böden verlegen mit alten Backsteinen, neue Gartenzaunpfosten setzen, Bäume ausschneiden, Gras sensen und Rasen mähen, Holz hacken, Unkraut jäten. Du wirst schon etwas finden, was Dir Spaß macht...
    Und natürlich gibt es genug im Haus zu tun, wie kochen und putzen. Alltag eben...
