    Description

    Hi, we are Hannes (36) and Daniela (36) and Elida (3) and Tede (1). We are an always funny, happy and friendly family. Hannes works fulltime as suportengineer, Daniela works half a day as a naval architect, during the kids are in the Kindergarden. We own a 90 years old farmhouse including an old barn and a big garden (to be honest it is mainly still just a acker, but once upon a time it will hopefully be a wonderfull garden) We love to be outside into the garden, if the weather is not to bad. If the weather is bad we love to craft something into the house. Maybe a new magic castle for Elidas Room, or some other new funiture designed by Daniela.

    So, there are a lot of constructions works remaining in the house. Therefore we would love it, if you are a skilled craftsmen. If not, no problem. Maybe you can take care of the kids, during we do the work at the house. Or ironing the laundry or clean the window. There are also a lot of paintworks to do..and just remember the acker which dreams to be a beautifull garden...you can choose whatever you want to do.
    Ooh and we will build a threehouse and a garden deck and some other outdoor living stuff

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are living in a small village at the middle between Bremen (ca. 30km) and Oldenburg (ca. 30km). We have a train station here so you can easily travel to both cities. For example, you can travel to Hamburg (180km) by train also. This will need approx. 1h30min. Or direction Northsea. Oldenburg is a nice town for shopping and Bremen has a lot of touristic attractions.
    The next Airport is Bremen and we can pick you up.
