    Help

    we've recently moved house.. renovated, extended .. a big project. We are now left with the painting of the main house and also trying to complete the annex and could really do with some help. I live with my two children 9 and 17 year old and 3 dogs ... We live countryside, central portugal but very close to city of Coimbra and Lousa ... we enjoy very much to cook, we have an organic vegetable garden and love to socialise .. walk dogs, swim in the local river beaches ... projects would include helping with the interior of the house, general tasks or helping with the interior of the annex, carpentry works, tiling, painting and general building works. 4 weeks would be perfect. We can offer food and a room in the main house (if you have no camper that is) Looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards Rita
