Descripción
Autumn is coming, and the garden should be prepared for winter by cutting the grass, trimming the bushes, extracting plants.
I am retired scientist who does not like to invest much time in the sustenance of the property, therefore I'd need the support and motivation by workawayers.
House and garden are already mostly in good shape, thanks to the contribution of former workawayers, so don't expect too much chores.

I am somehow knowlegdeable in most tasks, so you can learn something from me. And together with your knowlegde and ideas, we will discuss possible solutions and get to quite good results. You will have enough opportunity to explore nature and town, and to make discoveries in gastronomy and the arts.
Ayuda
Some small carpentry: enhancing thermal insulation of roller shutter boxes by mounting another case above, inspection of wooden walls for the same purpose. Trimming and digging out bushes in the garden. Possibly pet sitting. Up to one week.

Great for sports: swimming (free pool of the community), cycling (you can get one of my bikes or scooters), hiking (in the nearby forest and Jura hills), snow sports.
Regional public transport to town (Basel) and villages and hilltops is excellent. You will get a regional tourist ticket for free.

Ich bin sicher, es ist die beste Workaway.
Wir verbrachten 1 Woche bei Hans.
Er ist sehr nett und intelligent sowie großzügig.
Die Arbeit war gut (wir haben gestrichen, geputzt usw...). Wir haben viele Ausflüge gemacht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir kommen gerne ein andermal.
Danke Hans! Wir wünschen Ihnen alles Gute!

Thank you very much Hans!
