Description
WOW how can I do that....? I am living in Christiania, I am 74 years old, but still young....lol, I have been living here, for more then 50 years, so the community life, is important for me, i have 2 dogs and little garden, and a house that need a shining up(insulation, kitchen, windows, painting, cleaning...etc.), just now, a new terrasse is being build by a carpenter, I live on 2'end floor, I am eating vegetarian/vegan food(a little fish?), I have a guest room, that some times is used by friends, or maybe you ? (there is 2 beds in there, the best room i the house.
I have no shower, so you can come with to the local sauna, but some Workaway told me that the don't like, because it's a mixed sauna, so it's up to you.
And I need too write that, that i haven't been able to, keep a super cleaning in my house(this spring I had deep a healing process(physically with power of the mind)), and that's why I thought, that i cut get some assistance, from you guess, so I can help other people, with chancing my workshop in to a home. Love Barny
P.S.: I have ben trawling around the world(working) for 3 years in the beginning of the 90's, and doing what you maybe are doing now?
P.SS. from my own trawling, I learnt that It was best, to come to new places in the morning, and newer in the middle of the evening/night.
PLEASE DON'T HAVE TO HIGH EXPECTATION, it is a workshop, to chance in to a home. and IT MIGHT BE DUSTY.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE CHANCING YOUR PLANS, TELL ME IN GOOD TIME, I HAVE TO MANY TIMES, BEEN WAITING ON PEOPLE, THAT DIDN'T COME, AND SAID NO TO OTHER PEOPLE, THAT WANTED TO COME.

There are at least six recycling materials: hard plastic, soft plastic, metal, dirty plastic, glass, cardboard, paper, composition etc., so this must be the first thing to know on the first day. If you are dusting, he has masks and gloves, ask for it. Barny saves a lot of water, and I checked up that Denmark has the most expensive water bill in Europe, about 9 euros per meter cube if not mistaken, so please be aware of that. Bring earplugs, because Saturday night, there might be concerts 200 meters away from the building at the stage that play until late night. Eye covering for summer, because there is no curtains, or maybe someone will install one soon? Indoor sandals will be very helpful to move around inside the house.

Barny is a great guy, very straightforward, honest and happy!

I asked Barny three times if there are other options to bath and clean myself instead of going to the public mixed sauna. So, the challenge was conquered, he showed me a traditional method inside the apartment with mugs and vessels (you stand inside a large vessel, use a mug to scope… read more
