PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY :)
WHO DO I NEED: I need 2 (two) handy, independent adults (25 years or older) to help out with carpentry and painting projects. Preferably a well-cooperating couple, or two well-cooperating friends.
THE DEAL: You can live in my house for a maximum of 14 days (the other 14 days I will have my 3 children here).
Only 14 days of work require that you are already experienced with carpentry work, painting and such, as I not an expert myself and certainly not able to teach you very much :)
You will have your own bedroom, and share kitchen, bathroom and living room with me.
WHO AM I: Karianne Steen, 49 years old, journalist, mother of three, cat owner. I am busy and not so much into a lot of socializing other than around the dinner table and when we work together. But I like to do mountain walks and trips to the swimming pool, if you care to join me :)
THE HOUSE: A charming, cosy house from 1948, in wonderful surroundings by the ocean and mountains, right beneath the "Svolvaer goat" mountain (Svolværgeita), and in walking distance to the center of Svolvaer.

WHO AM I: Karianne Steen, 49 years old, journalist, mother of three, cat owner. I am busy and not so much into a lot of socializing other than around the dinner table and when we work together. But I like to do mountain walks and trips to the swimming pool, if you care to join me. And I have a large network and also a lot of knowledge about Lofoten, if you need my advice.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
I need handy helpers with work experience, who can paint walls and stairs, build stuff, fix electronical stuff such as lamps, and fix other stuff in a 70 year old house. The work must be done nicely, and with care. A sense of aesthetics combined with practical skills is much wanted.
