Description
I am looking for someone who will help me renovate our private cottage while i am at home. (no help with business/bnb cottage)
I am from a business family living in a small village Časta, between Bratislava and Trnava, the Slovak capital and the second biggest city in Western Slovakia.
We are professional workaholics and free-time visionaries.
In our free time we work around the house or cottage - in gardens, around animals, fruit collecting and alcohol making, or on some renovations. We also participate in bnb, camping space renting and team buildings with smallholder experiences.
We live in old granary building which we renovated over the years(you can see in the pictures). House is 10 minutes walking to forest and wine fields, 5 minutes to bus stop heading in both directions of historical villages and big cities.
Across the house is our business space. We have a sauna and wellness company working across Slovakia and Czech republic.
Simply said, we like to stay busy and show others what we do.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in wine region surrounded by hills (Little Carpathians) and wine yards, castles (Červený Kameň and Smolenice castle), caves (Driny), historical towns (Modra, Pezinok) and cities (Trnava).
Starting at our place - practical experiences in construction, wood working, fruit and animals, travelling...
In the area- hiking, swimming, wine tastings and harvest festivals...
Help
There is always something happening around the house or cottage, in the garden or around animals, but: We are currently working on a reconstruction and renovation of a house in our back yard into a barrier-free house for our retirement and also on cottage in area of Myjava city (around hour away from our house in the hills).
It is at its start, so going to go through all stages of the construction - design, demolition, foundations, walls ; and later on into interior works.
You will not be working in height or with electrics, or no other work with possible injury.
Pictures of current state and the plan are attached.
The idea is to learn something new for you, get a little help for us, but also have time n energy to experience the area and country.

From the start we got along very well and the time flew super quickly. In addition to work, we explored quite a bit around (we went to Bratislava, visited the nearby castle, a cave, and even did a pottery class together). Her mom cooks… read more
