Several Opportunities - No Deadlines
Welcoming experienced painters to do interior work with Allback linseed oil paint.
Two bedrooms, stairwell, centre hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom - including ceilings, trim and several windows.
This is beautiful paint, waiting for right person to apply with care and love.
Project could be extended to finish up some exterior work.
Unskilled prep possibilities for all of these projects - washing walls, sanding, digging etc.
We are ready to install a new bath tub. Job will require some carpentry, plumbing and tile work.
Plan for 50' of fencing, tent and yoga platform, garden gym.
We would love for a creatively skilled individual or team to come and design two building projects for us.
First is a small third story look out / sleeping loft to side of our home.
Second is to turn a cinder block garage into yoga studio / guest home with outdoor storage.

Alojamiento
Accommodation depends on when you come and who else is staying here - there may be a bedroom ;-).
At the very least, warm and cozy basement space is usually available.
Backyard tenting or hammocking if it isn't cold and snowy (unless that appeals) is also always a possibility.
CLEAN, COMFORTABLE BEDDING PROVIDED AND WASHED BIWEEKLY.
You will have full access to our home including Wifi, laundry and kitchen.
Overnight accommodation for about four hours of help a day would be great - a little more if we are providing food and making meals - a little less if you would like to cook for us.

we got back to Germany and wanted to say thank you again.
We had a very good time. We had to laugh a lot with you and Adriana. The house is cute and so is everything around the house. We fell in love with Kingston, the beach, the surroundings and enjoyed our time and the work.

She is a being of light, who transmits peace, light, love and joy ... through her beautiful house, the dogs, the cats, plants, garden, every thing, you can feel it, if you pay attention to every detail from the silence of your heart ...

It was my first Workaway experience in September and it was just great!
I was so happy to found her, she was so flexible with the arrival time even when I decided because of my situation to come very spontanieous. At first she didn't had any space in her house for one more person because she already… read more

Mature beyond their years.
The best of workers.

Since the moment we got in touch Kara was super nice and always seeing for us!
Me and my twin brother stood in Kingston for a month, and probably one of the best one of our life.
