  Description

  🇫🇷 **Aventurier·e bricoleur·se recherché·e – Chalet, animaux & bons repas dans les Pyrénées (Ariège)**
  
  Salut toi 👋
  Ici c’est simple : un chalet en montagne, une meute joyeuse (chiens, chats, furets, chèvres, poules), un jardin en pente, des idées plein la tête… et **toujours** quelque chose à fabriquer, réparer, planter, peindre.
  
  ### 💪 Ce que tu feras (au choix, selon la météo et tes envies)
  
  * Jardin & terrain : débroussailler léger, paillage, planter, arroser
  * Petits travaux : peinture/chaux/endo, bricole bois, clôtures
  * Projets fun : **bassin** (creuser + modeler), couleurs sur terrasse/salon, micro-aménagements
  
  > **Rythme** : on vise **\~4–5 h/jour, 5 j/sem**, avec souplesse (ex : 3 jours intenses puis 2 jours off si on s’organise). On en parle ensemble. ([Workaway][1])
  
  ### 🏡 Ce que j’offre
  
  * **Hébergement** au chalet (chambre confortable; sdb douche à l’italienne)
  * **Repas maison** (végé possible) + café partagé le matin
  * **Sauna** après l’effort 😌, **fibre** (oui, tu peux télétravailler), coin chill
  * Ambiance **calme, bienveillante, non-guindée**. On vit simple, on rit, on apprend.
  
  ### 🐾 À savoir avant de venir
  
  * **Terrain en pente** : prends de bonnes chaussures
  * Autonomie, bonne humeur, amour des bêtes obligatoires
  * **Séjour min.** : 1 semaine (plus si on s’entend)
  * **Contact** : écris-moi d’abord **via Workaway** (puis je donne WhatsApp si on confirme). C’est plus sûr pour tout le monde. ([Workaway][2])
  
  ### 🎒 Petit “pack montagne”
  
  Gants, chaussures solides, vêtements qui n’ont pas peur de la terre, pull du soir. (Je fournis outils & matos.)
  
  ### 🌄 Ton temps libre
  
  Randos, parapente, vélo, siestes XXL, sauna, marchés, chiens en balade. Montagne = météo capricieuse, on s’adapte et on en profite.
  
  🇬🇧 **Hands-on helper wanted – Cozy mountain chalet, animals & great food (Pyrenees, France)**
  
  Hey there!
  Mountain chalet, happy pack (dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, chickens), steep garden, creative projects… **always** something to build, fix, plant or paint.
  
  ### 💪 What you’ll do (mix & match, weather-friendly)
  
  * Garden & land: light clearing, mulching, planting, watering
  * DIY: painting/limewash, small wood fixes, fences
  * Fun projects: **pond** (dig + shape), colour up the terrace/living room, tiny improvements
  
  > **Pace**: about **4–5 h/day, 5 days/week**, flexible (e.g., 3 stronger days + 2 off if we plan it). We’ll agree together. ([Workaway][1])
  
  ### 🏡 What I offer
  
  * **Comfy room** in the chalet (shared bathroom, Italian shower)
  * **Home-cooked meals** (veg OK) + morning coffee ritual
  * **Sauna**, **fiber internet**, chill vibes
  * Friendly, low-key atmosphere. We keep it simple, we laugh, we learn.
  
  ### 🐾 Good to know
  
  * **Steep land** → bring sturdy shoes
  * Be autonomous, kind, and animal-friendly
  * **Minimum stay**: 1 week (longer if we click)
  * **First contact via Workaway**, then I’ll share WhatsApp after we confirm (safer for everyone). ([Workaway][2])
  
  ### 🎒 Bring
  
  Work gloves, sturdy shoes, clothes to get messy, a warm layer for evenings. (Tools provided.)
  
  ### 🌄 Free time
  
  Hiking, paragliding, biking, naps, sauna, local markets, dog walks. Mountain life = changing weather; we adapt and enjoy.
