Description
I am Maxime, I live alone in a old family house in Lescun, the highest village in the Pyrénées Atlantiques and I want to renovate this house. I'm 31 years old, and I came back from a 1 year trip in south america where I used Workaway some times. I'm chill, organised and open minded. The house is on 3 floors : The ground floor is rented all the year to a local people, I live on the first floor and I rent the second floor for tourism. Lescun is beautiful little village surrounding of montains, it's calm and peacefull, perfect to enjoy the nature and to hike.
Now, I want to enlarge the kitchen of the first floor. I need help to remove the stuff of the old kitchen, to demolish some plasterboard partition, to remake the electricity, to install the new kitchen, to paint, to change the floor. Moreover if you are an artist, you can paint an artwork on a white wall. And I would like to add some plants inside and outside the house too.
I offer free accomodation and food (during the workdays) in exchange for 4hours/days and 3days/weeks of helping. I'm not always at home because I work for the village carpenter 3,5 days/week so during this time you will be free to do whatever you want (hikking, chilling, cooking...).
I hope see you soon :)
