  Help

  Beside the vegetables needed to harvest, I want to focus on the sailboat the next months. Help in general is mostly needed outdoor. Gardening/harvesting, and general maintenance. Small building projects.
  Building a fence, building a terrace/sauna, help with renovating a sailboat.
  Preparing the seeds and soil in the springtime. Harvesting in the fall.
  We are also planning to build a terrace by the sea, just 200 m from the house.
  Make a new path way with flat stones by the entrance. Rebuild a stone fence by the house. If the weather is a problem, we got some interesting tasks inside or under the roof.
  
  There is always something to do.

  Accommodation

  Private annex in the barn, bedroom with a beautiful terrace and view to the sea. WiFi.
  Private toilet, shower. The bed is 150 cm wide, great for a couple.
  Kitchen is shared with us in the main house.
  
  Both our house and the annex are small unities, for ”small” people. If you are big/tall there is a good chance that you will knock your head in this old house, originally from 1884. Low ceilings and short doors. Just sayin´.
  
  We offer three meals daily, breakfast, lunch and warm dinner (we share on cooking).
  There is possible to make your own tea/coffee in the annex, if wanted.
  Work 5 hour a day – 5 days a week - free bed and basic food

  What else ...

  Even though we do not live far from people, we do not live very central either. Please consider if you think you will get to be bored spending time on your own. If you find having time to read, think, go for a walk, enjoying your own company, , singing in the rain and listening to the silence to be a good thing
  
  We will of course pick you up at the airport or nearby bus stop, and can recommend to you many places worth seeing in the area. Many nice walkes just outside from the house, we have a beautiful beach just 300 m from the house. Great hikes in the mountains around Molde. There are also buses between Molde and Bolsøya, a 15 min walk to the bus stop from our house.
