    Descripción

    Our family of three, two small dogs and the cat, live on a property 20 minutes inland from Aveiro and just under an hour South of Porto.
    The house is over a hundred years old and is in need of restoring. Large iron gates need revitalising, windows and doors removed and sanded, walls cleaned and painted and hundred year old murals on ceilings and walls carefully cleaned and restored. The house was left empty for over 20 years and so is in need of some care.
    The garden needs to be constantly weeded and maintained in the summer months and tidied in winter.
    It is a great joy to to recover the beauty of the shutters and windows as well as the wooden floors as the original wood is hardwood and so is in good condition under the neglect.

    We are currently removing all the tiles from the barn and need an experienced carpenter, plumber, roofer, builder. Payment can be negotiated for workaways who have these skills.

    The beach (Barra) is about 25 minutes away by car.
    There are good walks in the countryside surrounding the property and the river is a ten minute walk.
    The house itself is on a country road, which is not too busy. There is a large garden at the back of the house.

    Music collaboration is also most welcome as this is a musical household.
    If you are interested in gardening, woodwork, restoring murals, sanding, painting, taking turns to cook and clean, playing card and board games and have an excellent work ethic then please think about joining us.
    Camper vans welcome.
    This is a no smoking property. Smokers are welcome to smoke but not on the property or inside the house.
