Help me revamp and enjoy my beachfront house close to Split, Croatia

Description

I moved from Australia to Croatia this year to begin a new chapter. I worked as engineer and lecturer for 10 years in Australia. I got a large, old, beach house close to Split, Croatia. First house next to the sea that is in need of people and renovation.
I am looking for people to help with house maintenance and renovation tasks. Everyone that has friendly disposition is welcome. I will find a task that you can help with based on your skillsets and interests.
Preference will be given to workawayers with electrical and plumbing skills.
I host at most 4 workawayers at any given time.
