    We have done a lot of works so far...
    Still quite a lot to do, espacially outside.

    Your help would consist for example of : contructing a wood shed, a wooden workshop, Landscaping (shuveling, Raking), putting together the playground for kids (settling the ground for it), wood fencing and bambou fencing, making shelves in our attics, gluing floor in our attic, helpingwith sorting and putting away

    If you contact us, I can be more detailled on what can be done.

    We are looking for someone mature and experienced, able to work alone most of the time, while we have jobs as well. We will be able to work together once in a while.

    We could also need help in running the house : a little house keeping, once in a while cooking.
    We can need help in playing with the kids in English, once in a while, to free us up to put away our boxes and settle in our house. We would love to interact in english espacially with our kids who have some bases.

    According to your skills you can then choose what you'd feel more confortable helping with...
    We appreciate a good communication of everyone's expectations et needs.

    We want to leave you time to discover the area as well
