Description
We have been blessed with a variety of workaway people who have been very helpful during the past few months. At this time we will be looking for someone that is interested in staying for perhaps a bit longer and work on a few more detailed projects besides beach and plant/yard cleanup. Sanding/staining of a wooden pergola as well as repair/staining a bamboo fence are the priorities. It would be a big bonus if someone has some art skills as well to perhaps paint a small mural but this isn't mandatory. The property is a beautiful vacation rental property lakeside on a volcanic crater lake which is just 20 minutes from Granada, a beautiful colonial city in Nicaragua,. We are a Canadian/Nicaraguan couple that have owned this property for several years and are trying to make small changes/improvements to the property. At this time we are accepting only independent responsible people who can work on their own and it is best suited for a couple. You will be responsible for your own food purchase/preparation. There is a fully equipped kitchen for your use and you will have your own bathroom. We generally arrange to pick you up in Granada where you can buy your weekly supplies and if time permits we love to stay and have an evening of conversation/swimming with workawayers. Expectations are to work approximately 4 hours per day .. prerably early morning and late afternoon when it's not extremely hot. Let me know if this sounds like a fit for you!!!
