Description
Hi,
My husband and I are owner builders in one of the world’s best sustainable lifestyle villages in the south west of Western Australia, a beautiful region full of gorgeous swimming and surfing beaches, caves, wineries, bike tracks and bush walks.
We have finished building our passive solar timber framed home and have now moved in. We're enjoying living in an organic permaculture-based community and are growing our own veggies.
My husband is also helping our daughter, husband and two young boys build their passive solar home only a block away. Having help to paint doors and outside cladding would be good. There’s lots of general cleaning up and landscaping projects too. A willing helper would be very useful.
Having your own car to have the freedom to go to and from the village is better for you, as there's so many wonderful places to discover and enjoy.
You would have your own bedroom, bathroom and toilet, with shared living areas it you’d need to provide your own meals. Therefore work hours have been cut back to 3 hours a day instead of 5.
Let us know if this would suit you. -
