If its needed, we arranged acces to the car. You can use the art studio. You can learn norwegian language and history. If you're not already skilled in kayaking I can give you lessons. The summer season is a very nice and populare in this area.

I mostly need help uoutside, and we are entering the spring and summer month so its lovely being outside. Preparing and Painting walls inside and outside the house. Small repairs on the exterior and interior. Some general house help. Some woodwork. Help with the garden and building a usable place outside. Some experience is preferred, but not a must.
