    Hey!
    My name is Mette.
    I own a small old house , she is built in 1830, and she (we) need help.
    This house is seated , 2 feet away from the ocean on an island called Reinøya.( quite close to Tromsoe.) 1,5 hours drive.
    You can go there by car and ferry,or by local boat (30 minutes)from the senter of Tromsoe.
    My small house needs a lot of things;
    kitchen,bathroom, painting, etc,etc
    I am doing almost everything alone.
    While working progress, we use a caravan as housing. The caravan is nice and cozy, quite warm too.
    I have no water, but collects water from our neighbour.
    I need people with practical skills,
    people who knows what needs to be done or able to work alone.

    "You can stay in the Caravan at starts, it has to separate beds, toiletroom, sofa and kitchen"
    And in the house later, when it is more done. The house will have 4 seperate bedrooms when it is done.
    At the moment i live in the camper .☀️and have my personal stuff in there.
    I go to work at shifts . 6:45-16, or 15:00-22:30 (i work on another island.)
    When you come ,i can sleep in the house instead, or you can sleep in the house,
    during the day we will need to use the camper, and we eat and stay in there.
    It is quite tricky to have enough fresh food due to the distance to shops etc, but i can shop before i go home from work.
