    Description

    I live with two cats on 6.5 ha in the Portuguese Alentejo and I need help, mainly in spring, with cleaning up the land and making wood for the next winter: felling dead trees, sawing and chopping the wood. I'm involved in all the work, speak English and get by with my Portuguese.
    It's very quiet here, with a wonderful view of the valleys. Anyone who doesn't shy away from work, seeks contemplation and is pleasant to deal with is welcome. It is 15 km to the next town. The access road is neat.

    Ich lebe mit 2 Katzen auf 6,5 ha im portugiesischen Alentejo und brauche, hauptsächlich im Frühjahr Hilfe beim Säubern des Landes und Holz für den nächsten Winter machen: tote Bäume fällen, sägen und Hacken des Holzes. Ich bin bei allen Arbeiten dabei, spreche English und komme mit meinem Portugiesisch durchs Leben.
    Es ist sehr ruhig hier, mit einem wunderbaren Blick in die Täler. Wer Arbeit nicht scheut, Kontemplation sucht und angenehm im Umgang ist, ist mir willkommen. Zum nächsten Städtchen sind es 15 Km. Die Zuwegung ist ordentlich.

    It's physically demanding, the country is partly steep hilly: in other words, good physical condition is a requirement. It's physically demanding, the country is partly steep hilly: in other words, good physical condition is a requirement.

    Es ist schon körperlich anspruchsvoll, das Land ist teilweise steil hügelig: mit anderen Worten, gute Kondition ist eine Voraussetzung.
    It's physically demanding, the country is partly steep hilly: in other words, good physical condition is a requirement.
    Like I already wrote : its mainly in spring picking weed, collecting and cutting trees, doing wood for heating. Maybe this spring painting the house again and so on...
