Description
Update March 10th
Looking for someone who is a skilled carpenter and / or general handyman. Only looking for folks with experience at this point of the project. Ideally for March and April. I don't expect to need anyone after April if all goes well :)
**Our work is PAID POSITIONS** In accordance with French law, we will pay at least minimum wage for all work done.
The castle was built in 1440 ...and is very much a stone medieval castle that was "renovated in the 18th century and has a lot of those decorative features in the castle, fireplaces, moldings, etc. We have lots of wooden windows and doors that could use some "love". We have some furniture pieces that need attention, we have kitchen cabinets that need to be set, etc. Loads of carpentry and finish carpentry type projects. Along with that there are a lot of general handyman type tasks, hanging light fixtures, some wall repair, putting all the hardware back on the doors and windows that were painted, etc.
We are happy to provide a furnished room with a shared bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. The castle has WiFi and you have use of all the living spaces.
There is not public transportation to us. We are out in the gorgeous countryside, just a few kilometers from a large lake. This is best suited for people with their own transportation. The closest airport is Toulouse, the closest train station is Carmaux.
