Description
I am Marilyne and I have two boys, Loup is 10 and Morel is 4. I also have my friend Darryl living here. I speak french as my mother tongue but we speak english at home. I have dogs and a cat. We live in the forest up a mountain on a land COOP that we share with 6 other people. I am off grid and on solar energy and I am always helping on permaculture DYI projects. We are looking to find helpers that can assist us us with building our home to become more comfortable and convenient. Living off grid is fun and requires a lot of smart thinking on what the next step is going to be. I like to build things from scratch (cut the tree down and peel it to build an outhouse). We also have tractor to make the tasks easier. Come meet us if you want to learn about off grid living and building and fixing things at low cost. There is lots of room to camp on the land and maybe even long term possibilities.

Help
We are building a root cellar and an outhouse and would love help with that. Darryl is very knowledgeable with doing mechanic and welding and would love help with that. There is lots of chain saw tasks to do around here to thin the woods out a little and build trails. I am wanting to organize things and tools around to make more room for the next projects. I can use some help with my home schooled boys, playing with them, teaching them stuff, making food. I am also renovating my house, painting it and doing the window sills. ETC..

Accommodation
I have a teepee to sleep in. I also have smaller tents and would share my house. I have an outdoor oven to cook on as well as an outside bath set up. I am very flexible with camping options but I do not have a visitor cabin built yet (another project..). I may have a truck trailer available also.
What else ...
I live in a small rural community with very alternative people. There is a couple restaurants and stores. The Slocan river is beautiful and you can float it. We like to go to the lake also. There are lots to do here so if you have any questions about the place just message me and I can guide you with information.
