  Help

  We are currently undertaking renovations in our Berlin flat. It’s a big flat, so we could use some extra hands!
  
  We need help with repairing and painting walls, removing old wallpaper, fixing the skirting boards, and renovating the kitchen. You would be working together with us or sometimes assigned individual tasks.
  
  As it’s getting cold, we want to make curtains, so sewing skills would be very welcome!
  
  It would also be great if you could help us with the following:
  
  - Learning to play the guitar (electric, Telecaster)
  - Learning to sing and drum
  - Learning painting and other visual art skills such as silk screen and linocut printing. Going outside and making art together.
  - Learning salsa and tango dancing
  - Cooking and groceries
  - Taking care of our plants, creating a living wall, improving our watering systems, and making a vertical garden on the balcony
  - Building and designing furniture and lamps
  - Assisting with graphic design projects, including zines, comics, posters, and textile prints
  - Training us in table tennis (intermediate/advanced level)
  - Helping with metal projects, such as building a large bicycle trailer and a cargo bike
  - Assisting with map projects, as we want to create personalised maps of Berlin. Discussing urban planning and architecture.
  - Helping with sewing projects and updating our wardrobe
