  Help

  I'd like some help with keeping the kitchen tidy, washing clothes, (towels, trousers, socks, t-shirts).
  If the weather is good, you can help mowing the lawn. Or helping with other things in the garden.
  I also have a garage that needs a loving hand, if you are up for it.

  Accommodation

  We live in the Capital Tórshavn.
  I have a room about 15 squaremeters available, with access to kitchen, & toilet and a shower. There are 3 large windows in the room, with view to the garden (same level).
  There is access to a piano in the livingroom (beside the room)
  The room has a nice bed/couch, a small drawer, some 2-3 chairs, a table and some bookcases.
  There is also access to the about 250 m2 garden.
  The house is situated close to center, only 10 -15 min walk, and only 2 min to a bus who drives you to the center.
  
  We only use glutenfree flour to bake with here in the house.
  There is a coffe mashine, a cettle and some other kitchen machines.
  There will be some oatmeal available, bread and food from the freezer)

  What else ...

  There is a swimming pool about 10 min walk and 5 min with bus from our house. There are 4 evangelical churches in Tórsavn if you count in the suburbs Argir and Hoyvík.
  Around 10 pm (9.30 pm schooldays) I expect there to be peace in the home. But we dont hear very well between the floors so a bit of noise is ok, but not loud music/sound.
  Free internet.
