    Description

    Hello, We are young retirees in a house to restore. The living environment is magnificent since it is in a site classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. . We are looking for someone with physical resistance to do masonry, framing.

    But above all work on the stone, tender.

    Work 5 hours a day, paid by the hour.

    For rates, we prefer to discuss them directly with the person.

    Someone who can communicate in French.

    We respect all the conditions of the site except that in addition, we pay for the hours worked, since it is a specialized job.

    In this regard, the person should already have serious experience in the restoration of old stone houses.

    What is, in my opinion, can be attractive in the announcement is that the work affects several disciplines and therefore be diversified.

    It is indeed a restoration and expansion of an old house.

    Of course, someone cool, friendly, curious about things, who likes to be doing it.

    Relaxation and good pleasures of life are also on the program.

    Gender, age, nationality are indifferent to us from the moment the person takes pleasure in doing.
    ==============

    Qq’un qui puisse communiquer en français.
    Nous respectons toutes les conditions du site sauf qu’en plus, nous payons les heures travaillées, vu qu’il s’agit d’un travail spécialisé.
    A ce sujet, il faudrait que la personne ait déjà une sérieuse expérience sur la restauration des maisons anciennes en pierres.
    Ce qui est, à mon avis, peut être attractif ds l’annonce, c’est que le travail touche plusieurs disciplines et donc être diversifié .
    Il s’agit bien de restauration agrandissement d’une ancienne maison .
