    Description

    UK:
    We are a family of 6 living in a property in the countryside situated one hour south of Santiago (Región Metropolitana). We are living in 4 separated houses and each one of us is busy with his work or other personal occupation during the week. We usually gather together and share lunch during the weekends. Our project is to convert our property into a recreational place. Our property has many gardens, fruit trees, a swimming pool and a small eucalyptus forest. The land has a small slope and we would like to build a place for Picnic and walking/biking trails over there.
    In the summer (November, December, January and February) we need help for the maintenance of the swimming pool and cutting wood for the winter.

    ES:
    Somos una familia que vive en una parcela al sur de la Región Metropolitana, a una hora de Santiago, vivimos en comunidad, hay cuatro casas en las que vive el resto de la familia, durante la semana cada cual hace su vida en sus trabajos o cosas personales y los fines de semana generalmente compartimos todos a la hora de almuerzo. Nuestro proyecto es convertir nuestra parcela en un lugar de recreación y de paseo familiar, es un amplio terreno con muchos jardines, arboles frutales , piscina y un pequeño bosque de eucalyptus, el terreno tiene una pequeña pendiente y es el lugar apto donde queremos construir un lugar para picnic y senderos para paseos en bicicleta.

    Basically what we are looking for is a person who likes to work outside and mostly gardening. We need take care and clean the gardens, cut firewood for winter, we have different projects to upgrade our piece of land... like making trails for walking or cycling, playground or tree house for kids... During summer we also need help to clean the swimming pool.

    ES:
    Básicamente lo que necesitamos es una persona que le guste trabajar la madera, queremos hacer senderos para caminar o andar en bicicleta, hacer juegos infantiles y una casa en un árbol.
    Durante el verano manutención de la piscina y ayuda en el jardín.
    Por ahora lo mas importante es hacer leña.
