    Description

    We leave on a Villa in a beautiful Georgian countryside with a hectare-sized garden full of fruit trees and nuts, carpentry workshop, small smithy and pond. Last year we have cleaned a garden and refurbished an old house. Now we have 3 bedrooms with all facilities and ready to expand. Time to build a new frame-style house for couchsurfers and volunteers.

    Help

    This spring we'll be planting new trees, but most of the help involves building a frame-style wooden guesthouse. Carpentry skills and knack with tools is most needed, but there is also opportunity for less strenuous and skilled work, because construction involves many tasks, some of them are very simple but time-consuming such as applying insulator and membranes.
