Garden and home help in a stunning place - Nordhorn, Germany

Description

We are a couple (originally from Holland) with 2 dogs. We live near the Dutch border in a place called Nordhorn. We moved from Portugal to this place not long ago. We are willing to start an art project only we need help in the start by doing more basic things, prepare the space and a lot more, before we can start our art project.

We lived in Portugal and moved to a nice village called Nordhorn in Germany. We both are originally from Holland . On this moment we need help because the three houses have to get a new function( see photo) Art, living and hostile. Stuff stored from four different countries, were we lived and worked in the past. My wife is an artist and later we want to change the big Hal to an international gallery. We are looking for people who can help us with construction, maintenance, gardening, help in the house, website builder, every thing witch passes by. We took two lovely dogs from Portugal with us. We did charity work for the animals there as well. We live nearby the border of Holland and you can go to Enschede and other big places as well. In Germany our son lives nearby with international students and studies in the Netherlands. Enough to do in your free time. We try to have 2 till 4 volunteers at the same time for more interaction.
