Description
I am a professional ecologic builder (earth, wood, bricks, straw...) located near the lake district in north-east Germany. Me (1980) and half time my daughter (2017) live in a beautiful tiny village surrounded by great nature. There is a big yard with a lot of new planted fruity and exotic trees. Slowly this place is turned into an arboretum with space for guests.
In Summer 2025, the building time will be from 26th June to to 9th of August. Not sure yet what we will be building. Painting the outdoor shower? Building a new cellar ceiling? Or the floor of the attic. Or just some improvements of... everything. And beside that: taking swims, watching sunsets or movies, campfire and having a good time with whoever will come here.
The rest of the year it`s mostly rather calm as we are off for work /school in the daytime. So over the day you will be alone if you don`t bring a friend. But if you are looking for a place to be a lot on your own, to write your book, to stroll around in a beautiful nature... you are most welcome. We will find something to do for you depending on your skills and needs. Gardening, repairing, building, cooking, looking after my daughter...
I don't like requests from people who do not read the profile. So please mention "Bliblablubs" if you ask me to come to my place. Than I know you read all this. Thank you!
