Description
We are a family ( Sylvia 37, Morten 37, Louis 2 and a baby coming in February)who bought and restored and old brickmill some years ago. We moved in 1 1/2 ago but there is still a lot of work to do inside and outside the house. The mill is 3 floors and there are still one floor and some rooms thats need to be cleaned and/ore fixed with different kind og masonery ore carpenting. Mortens education is within restauring old houses so you will have all the guidance you can hope for:) The land around the house needs gardening, making a henhouse, cleaning, making fences and different kind of landscaping with stone, plants ... The house is warmed up with stoves and wood so we always need a hand to make wood for the next season.
Sylvia works as a costume designer , textile artist and scenograf who works from home and can offer different working tasks within the ongoing projects.
In our dailylife household we are also happy to have help with childcare, dogwalking, cooking, cleaning ...
