    Hello there!

    I'm a single father with 2 kids, living near Oradea.

    After having converted a 16 seated bus into a wheelchair accessible motorhome with the help of workawayers, a few years ago we started building a tiny family house.
    It is designed to be an nZEB, so modern technologies and quality materials are used, consulting with a professional building company.

    I had a rock climbing accident several years ago. Since then I'm in a wheelchair. I have the knowledge for the tasks, but most things I just can`t do by myself from the wheelchair.

    I need help in two areas:

    1) handling the cooking and general house chores (so I can focus more on the building tasks)

    OR

    2) help with building, DIY projects - hands on work

    If you could help with one of these duties, please read on!

    The property is located 8 km from Oradea, near the forest, in the middle of nature.

    The work schedule is in the afternoons, between 12.00-18.00.
    You can enjoy free time in the mornings and evenings. We can go biking or small trips with motorhome in the weekends, cook together, make campfire etc.

    Regarding the construction, so far about 90% of the work is finished. Next things would be, in order of priority:

    - building the walls and windows for the garage
    - building fence and gates
    - shading for the terrace
    - arranging the garden, planting trees etc
    - furnishing (assembling Ikea furniture etc)
    - all kind of other tasks around the house

    If you are interested, don`t hesitate to contact me!

    greetings,

    Space for parking camper vans

    If you come by own van, motorhomes can park here with a nice view in a quiet and peaceful environment. There's plenty of parking space near the house, drinking water and electricity access. However, there is no black water dump station in the area, so please arrive with empty tanks!

    Can possibly accept pets

    Pets are only allowed if they can live outside the house and are absolutely not dangerous to children. Please keep in mind that we did not build the fence yet!
