Now what I would like to write here is: dont take these guys ... but only so they would stay with us forever !
Lauren and Pierre are absolutely wonderful! We cannot thank them enough for their help. I can honestly say that without them we would not be anywhere near as far with the house project than we are. Pierre helped Paul a lot. Not only with… read more

Now these 2 girls are great! They are sweet and an absolute delight to have around. They helped out lots around the house.

Joseph is a really nice guy who puts his hands to everything! He is a great joy to have around and we had some great laughs together. Our 4 year old daughter is still talking of him every day and his work is ever present, wherever we look. He has great patients (he proved that with actually staying so long with us in our chaos)
Added bonus: He… read more

I stayed with Paul, Ina and Boo for 3 weeks and it was a really great experience I enjoyed every minute of it and I hope to go back someday in the future.

It was really fun doing lots of different renovations on the house and learning new things there is plenty to do so the days go fast.
Paul, Ina and their daughter Boo are really easy going… read more
