    Description

    We are a french couple. Christopher and Gwenaëlle. 33 years old this year. We live in the countryside in southwest France and We have a life project to live in the countryside and to go to the autonomy.

    We've just bought an old farmhouse. It's recent, in August 2024.

    We have some light renovation work inside the house, like sanding and painting, and some work outside, mostly garden maintenance and improvement.

    It could be something else if you have ideas and it suits us.
    There are lots of projects, demolishing sheds, making a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, clearing undergrowth, making fences.

    You can help me with the meals if you like.

    I work from home and my husband comes home at the weekend. We have a cat.

    In general, I try to work "for renovation" for at least 1 hour every day after work + at weekends.

    Be careful! It really is the countryside here. There's not much going on around here.

    Of course we will share our life with you as a member of the family so that includes outings with family or friends if planned.

    Don't hesitate if you have any questions.
