    Description

    I live with my partner, I'm retired, and I love meeting people from different backgrounds and ages. We speak English. We have two dogs. We live in a house with three bedrooms, a swimming pool, a large yard, and a vegetable garden. We're a 10-minute drive from Auch and an hour's drive (70 km) from Toulouse: the train can drop you off in the city center.

    =====

    Je vis en couple, je ne travaille plus et j' adore rencontrer des gens d'horizons et d'âges différents.
    Nous nous débrouillons avec l'anglais.
    Nous avons deux chiens.
    Nous habitons une maison avec 3 chambres, piscine, grand terrain et potager.
    Nous sommes à 10 minutes d'Auch en voiture et à une heure de route (70 kms) de Toulouse : le train peut vous y déposer en centre ville.

    Help

    With our help, build a composting toilet in our garden. This may involve removing garden beds and leveling the ground.

    We don't yet have the experience or materials for this project; you would need to have built one before (if so, please send photos).

    You can work half-days or every other day, whichever suits you best.

    Our soil is dry and compacted in the summer, which adds to the difficulty. Therefore, choose your preferred season, as we have a fairly flexible timeframe for this project.

    =====

    Réalisez avec notre aide des toilettes sèches dans notre jardin, peut-être cela incluera la destruction à la masse de carrés de jardin et le renivelement de la terre

    Nous n'avons ni l expérience ni encore les matériaux pour la réalisation : il faudrait que vous en ayez déjà construit (si oui transmettre des photos svp)

    Vous travaillerez en demi journée ou un jour sur deux à votre convenance

    Chez nous la terre est sèche et compacte en été ce qui rajoute la difficulté. Aussi choisissez votre saison car nous sommes assez large sur le délai pour cette réalisation
