  Aide

  As this is a large old house and property we are always working on various maintenance and improvement projects.
  
  For spring through fall 2025 we will be working on projects that include:
  - refinishing wooden chairs & tables
  - creating a decorative artistic design for an ugly 16m x 2m wall
  - creating podcasts and video productions featuring aspects of our community
  - adding local hiking trails to our Komoot profile
  - planting fruit and hardwood trees around the property
  - repairing garden fencing and posts
  - repairing an old grape arbor
  
  We will also be working on social media to update and improve web, FB and other media platforms.
  
  In the spring we typically prep the gardens, plant and get ready for summer projects.
  
  From June to September we are busy putting on cultural events and hosting various groups who use the property for education, art and environmental seminars.
  
  In the fall we will be harvesting, canning fruits and vegetables, as well as harvesting and storing firewood for the winter.
  
  In winter we focus on indoor repair and improvement projects which include refinishing and repairing furniture, light interior painting, improving guest rooms, re-organizing storage areas, maintaining household systems, fixing broken equipment and general DIY preparations for spring.

  Autres infos...

  We are pretty easy going and flexible so there is only one rule:
  
  Leave every thing better than you found it; for all definitions of "thing". (ie. people, pets, rooms, food, supplies, refridge, tools, equipment, field, forest, neighbors, etc)
