  Description

  Hello, we are small family:
  Irene 36 years old, teaching future teacher and school principal,
  Ludovic 41 years old, high-school teacher,
  Amélie 6 years old and Flurina 3 years old.
  We are very interested in sustainable living and green technology and are building an ecological family house this summer. We are planning a passive house on a south facing relatively steep plot. The structure will be done by professionals (concrete basement, wood walls, roof and windows). We are planning to do internal work and technical parts by ourself and would be glad to have some help for:
  - building the internal wall in clay
  - putting the clay flooring
  - Installation of Thermal solar collectors
  - Installation of photovoltaic panels
  - Installation of passive venting system
  -...
  We are now living in a rented house about 200m from the plot and have a spacious room with 2 beds available, that could also fit for a family with small children.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  We have an internet connection but not a very good one. It works perfectly to answer e-mail but not always well for important video calls or to work on shared documents.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  About 100m from our house is a van parking space available. The spot is located next to several small pounds and a grill place in the forest. Fresh water available, but no toilets or electricity at the parking spot, but you can use ours. A small van could also be parked in front of our house.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux
