    Descripción

    Hi, here is Maël,
    I work by my own as a climbing and canyoning instructor.

    I live in an old hotel building of 300m2, that I started to renovate with the help of friends and helpers 4 years ago, whith respect of the ancien style, and with cheap and ecological meanings.

    My favorite moments are dedicated to (except renovating this magnifiscent ancien hotel): music, climbing, visit friends and welcome people from other cultures...

    Things to do:
    Various types of works!
    Renovating the building: Plastering, electricity, painting, sanding...
    ...And Cleaning/ordering the house and the outbuildings, cooking, Cause we live in he place in which we are working.
    We have a collective Garden in a field close to the house.
    However, during Summertime, I'm over busy with my canyoning and climbing activities, so I need help in maintaining the house, the garden, cooking, and a little help at my canyoning base. It may also happen that you join me during the activities...


    Accommodation:
    We now have a proper kitchen and a nice huge living room, then the stay is comfortable, although the rooms upstairs make you feel in the middle of a big 'work in progress'.
    We have 8 rooms/spaces upstairs. I provide rooms 'not yet renovated', that we cleaned and made comfortable enough. Bed sheets and towels provided. We share a unique bathroom, and 3 toilets...
    I provide the food, and I propose that we cook together. Different countries specialties are welcome!

    The hotel is on the main place of the nice village of Saurat, and we enjoy everyday its friendly atmosphere and the visit of friends, mostly climbers and musicians
    Located in a really nice valley in the heart of 'Pyrénées ariégeoises' natural park, the place offers a lot of possibilities for outdoor and mountain activities (hiking, climbing etc...)

    Living together
    We are now 4 room-mates living here all year-long. The relationship with the workawayers I welcome matters to me.
    I'm concerned withe the behavior of the people I live with, and prefer active and smiling people, careful with others and ready to participate in maintaining the house in a nice state.

    If anything becomes uncomfortable, for you or me, it's important to talk, and possibly, the collaboration can stop peacefully if needed.

    I look for help to renovate an 360m2 old hotel building :. electricity, and plummery networks, plasters, painting, wood work, gardening, etc...
    I try to be with you during working time, but skilled people ready to achieve a task by themselves are specially wanted...
    During summer, the renovation process is slowered, we concentrate on house maintenance, and help with activities.
    To help efficiently with the renovation, skilled people are needed easy with the idea to deal with a lot of various details. It happens to me that to teach or explain takes more time that to do the job myself... So I'm looking for these rare people who are patient, and happy with different types of challenges... Last but not least is your motivation.


    I like when organization is decided together...
    You're invited to help me to organise time and reflexion about working and daily tasks, regarding to your expectations and skills... and with my available time. 25 hrs a week of work: depending on our willing, it can be or a few hours a day, or, on the contrary do all the work in 3 days, then save free time...

    Mostly, the things to do are dusty and dirty, so I try to provide clothes for work, but it's often nice for you if you have your favorite ones...
