    Description

    We are looking for lovely, family-orientated workawayers who have an interest in construction, eco building, design and carpentry to help us with our Dublin project from December through to 2024. If you are somebody who loves attention to detail, this is an interesting stage to help as we moving into the finishing phase of the project.

    We are renovating our 150 year old house in Dublin city centre and this has been a SLOW project that has been continuing over the past few years.

    My husband is a film-maker and I run a brand identity business, our children are 17 and 14, and we have travelled extensively, living in Africa, the US, Europe and now back in Ireland for the past ten years.

    Let me know ASAP if you are interested and we can arrange to speak!

    We look forward to hearing from you.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are always looking to share what we know and have learnt on our journey through life, and learn from others, and we see the opportunity of hosting workawayers as a really valuable cultural and work exchange - so, lots to learn.... Over the past 3.5yrs we designed and constructed a 25m sq. Timber frame cabin with help from workaways and started working on our main house - it's been both a fantastic and challenging experience! All those who have helped us over the years are firm friends - we often continue to employ those who come here also.
