    Description

    My project is a renovation of my house. There is all sorts of help needed here, like DIY, carpentry, plastering, painting, electrics, plumbing etc. Ideally I need someone with this sort of skills, but common sense, bit of creativity and a can-do attitude can also work wonders.

    I am trying to do the works possibly efficient, cost effective, and environment-friendly, e.g.: I use second hand materials or I modify things instead of buying new ones. It is important that you have positive outlook and are able to find solutions rather than problems in things. :)


    I provide accomodation, breakfast and dinner.

    Working hours: 20 hours per week. Usually Monday to Friday 4 hours per day.

    You'll get to learn and experience here: a creative thinking, responsibility, good work ethic and house-sharing/ co-habitance skills.

    Myself: I'm a cultural mixture. I am originally polish, I lived in England for 8 years and now, since 2019 I've lived in Spain. I'm moderately sociable. I like spending time with people, but I also appreciate having my own time and space.

    I’m a flexible and relaxed but organised person. I believe in modesty and simplicity of life. I like to laugh and joke around, nevertheless I'm well focused and I care about getting the job done.
