  Help

  We own an old family house with garden which needs a bit of maintenance.
  This autumn we want to build a roof across a staircase outside our house. The construction plan and the material cut is made. Now we would need a hand to put it up.
  Further we like to grow vegetable in our garden and therefore need to prepare the soil. We like to change the position of one little tree and need gardening help in general.
  
  Further we like to dismantle a library from the wall and empty one room to put in a wooden floor.
  No worries we don’t expect you to plan or build something by yourself. It is helpful to have practical skills but sometimes it is also very helpful to play with the kids or cook the dinner, so we can get the stuff done by ourselves.

  What else ...

  Public transport is available in about 12min walking distance. SBahn, buses and U-Bahn. We can give you a bike to get around. After 8 years in the countryside we appreciate so much to get around without a car and have recommendations for bike trips…
  We are on the edge of town so you can quickly bike outside through fields and the nearest forest is 15min away.
  Well the Berlin: there is sooo much to do and experience. When you are interested in art there is the Gropiusbau Museum quite close to our house and then there is sooo much more.
  And the main tourist attractions are very convenient to reach Ron our SBahn lane. Just tell us your interests and we surely can help you.
  For clubbing our district is quite far off…
  We live in a calm neighbourhood in the south of Berlin.
  
  When living with us it is important for us that you are open to communicate. And that we can talk about may occurring issues. It is appreciated that you clean up after yourself.
  Note that we try to live sustainable and therefore save water (we shower only once a week, but you can choose yourself) and we buy mostly ecological food.
