Description
We would love some help with chopping and movibg wood around in a wheelbarrow !
+ we would need house and dog sitting from the 8th until the 13th jan
We are a family of 5 with a 13 year old son and 10 and 7 year old daughters. We moved in 2022 to the gorgeous Bordeaux countryside. Our house is 500 years old and the outdoor spaces are absolutely huge and beautiful with very old trees. We want to grow a food forest someday. We have horses, sheep, and 2 very friendly and well educated shepard dogs... Appart from the occasional dancing underneath the stars around the camp fire, we go to bed early and wake up early too. The sunrise cup of coffee after yoga is my favorite🥰.
Our workawayers are part of the family so we expect them to also take part in the daily things we do to keep the house running like filling up and emptying the dish washer when needed and, keeping the fire on or lighting it up in the morning etc...
We need help with sanding and painting and what we call " garden workout " which is gardening with muscle 😂. Limeplaster and or plastering skills would also be very welcome! Moving fire wood around and building a gate. Also small carpentry tasks like making doors for a wardrobe etc.
