We are looking for workawayers to help with our Dublin project immediately
We are renovating our 150 year old house in Dublin city centre and need help with the project (this involves lifting and material handling, digging and clearing debris, assisting contractors (i.e. craft workers, electricians, painters) as needed. Please only apply if you have experience in construction and/or painting/decorating or carpentry especially!
My husband is a film-maker and I run a digital agency, our children are 15 and 12, 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!

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 6 months we designed and constructed a 25m sq. Timber frame cabin with help from workaways and had a fantastic experience. We even went on to employ one of the workaways who stayed with us as a construction worker for another project.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We need people who are not afraid of manual and physical tasks /handy with hands! A bonus will be if you are also interested in music - we love music in our family - our daughters sing, play the piano and guitar.

Dublin: accommodation is rough and ready as the house is being renovated - however, anyone assisting will have use of our cabin and outdoor space with fireside - our house is a period property with a large garden 15 minutes walk from city centre, high speed internet...beside Dublin's Royal Canal.
Dublin has so much to offer...an easy city to navigate, and also small enough to escape easily to on the weekends and holidays!
