Hallo!
We are a family of 4 (Ivo, Maren, doughter Mia and dog Blue). After traveling many parts of this earth we just bought an old farmhouse in the south-east of Bavaria and started renovating and creating. Here is also a lot of work waiting in the garden and our daughter and dog want to be entertaint all the time... Our life here is very basic - internet, warm water and heatabel dry space is limited, but we want to open this place for travelers like we have been for the last decade.
We are just getting started and we have a vision, so come around and help us realizing it!
See you :)

we are happy to share all we have learned travelling and we collected quite a lot of knowledge about different handcrafts and "do-it-yourself-experiances". We both work in a circus, training children and beeing artits, so we can offer to teach some tricks and artistic skills too.
We just took down the old farm house and prepare for building our new ecological (dream-)house ... This is our big plan for 2020:
In three blocks we are going to build the wooden framework, set up the roof and start building the interior. For every step we need motivated helpers who want to learn more about sustainable building:
1st block
February:
Prepare all wooden beams for our new house and roof (cutting, storing, glazing with natural oil..)
March :
Precise wood cutting with master woodworker Markus,
Manufacture and set up wall elements, wooden roof structure..
April:
Place the around 600 straw bales inside the roof construction (insulation) and finally cover the roof with trapezoidal sheet metal, install gutters etc
2nd block:
May / June / July:
Working inside: install partition walls, electrics, start working on bathrooms and first clay plaster
3rd block
August: Next delivery of 2000 straw bales - the insulation material - and place them inside the framework (walls). First parts can be plastered with with clay ... during this time we can need a lot of helping hands and want to offer workshops how to work with clay! ...... we will inform you about the exact process...

We always need help with the daily work, like cleaning and cooking together. In general our meals are vegetarian and we try to grow and produce at least parts of every meal by ourselfs... but it is importend for us not to be docmatic in our believes (sometimes Pizza is perfect :) )!
And we defenitly need your helping hands to realize the big plan!!
We prefer people who can stay longer than 7 days and have a little experience in construction work, sustainabel living and who can help and live quite independently.
