    Hi💚
    I’m Christine - I have a cute little garden house where I live with my cat, Misse. I work as a designer creating playgrounds and pop up exhibitions for kids. When I’m not working I spend time building my house and gardening. I am very social, love cooking, yoga, meditation, dancing and gathering people for beautiful meals and bun fire🌻
    I would really love some help rat/mice proofing my little house. (I don't have rats/mice atm- but worry they might move in if I don't secure there house). I also would like help with the garden! :)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I live in a beautiful little city called Aarhus. It’s the second biggest city in Denmark and lots of things are happening during the summer. If you are craving nature we have beautiful woods and the sea close by. Just next to my house there's a large lake where you can go for walks and enjoy the landscape.

    I’m looking for 1 practical and independent person to help with rat-proofing work around my wooden house.
    The main task is installing galvanized wire mesh (hardware cloth) along the base of the house to prevent rats from getting in. This involves digging a shallow trench (about 20–30 cm deep), attaching the mesh securely to the wood with screws and washers, and creating an underground barrier.
    You should be comfortable working independently. I may join parts of the work, but not necessarily all of it :)

    Work may include:
    Digging a trench around parts of the house
    Cutting and attaching wire mesh
    General outdoor practical work

    If the weather is bad, there are indoor painting tasks instead. If the digging feels too physically demanding, there are also lighter gardening tasks available.

    What I’m looking for:
    Someone practical and self-driven
    Comfortable with DIY or manual work
    Able to work independently

    I would like to get help 5 hours a day for 5 days in total.
