Description
The houseboat that we're building is part of an association to organise some cultural events for the city. — You'll have your own room( private room ) with a double bed. We offer pretty good condition of staying but you need to fill up those criterions:
-Being a minimum handy ( experience with screwdriver is mandatory).
-Willing to help on daily chore.
-Having already one workaway done.
-Enjoying social life.
If you are missing one criterion but you are highly motivated, write to us :)
Louis used to volunteer through Workaway to learn new skills and gained valuable experience for his engineering career. Now we are giving back our experience in traveling and hosting for the boat project.
We provide daily tasks but the guest can also start any project he/she would like by his/her own tasks after he/she understands the current status of the work. We don't check the working hours but we want to see significant results weekly. Some candidates can finish the work tasks in the way within 3 hours while others would take more hours in a day. It really depends on your DIY skills.
If you’re here to learn and try new skills, that’s great — we understand it might take more time as you practice. If you master in a task, we trust you can handle it efficiently and fit it into less hours.
We will join the boat project in the afternoons or evenings after our full-time jobs, so that’s when we’ll work together or teach skills if you’re here to learn. We are also expecting some small helps for daily tasks, we are taking turn for cooking, cleaning, dishwasher, laundry ect...
Watch out : the room and volunteer work is booked for you only when you send us your train ticket/plane/bus confirmation.

Help
We recently bought a 200m² boat to live on, and there’s a lot of projects going on.— we’re looking for volunteers who are excited to get involved and enjoy hands-on projects. Experiences is a big plus — mention it in your first message!
The project tasks will be based on the time period you arrive. You can either choose the tasks that are currently running or we assign to you certain tasks.
We are also expecting some small helps for daily tasks, we are taking turn for cleaning, dishwasher, laundry ect...
If you are interested in learning some new skills but the tasks are not covering the time you are staying, always let me know.

Accommodation
The main idea is to live on the boat but as the Guests/Helpers.
It is important to provide a decent way of living no matter the state of the boat when there are tasks in the room or in the bathroom.
We are offering the 2 meals.
Some international event will happen in the boat.
