  Description

  I live in an off grid float cabin in an isolated bay on the west coast of BC about 30 minutes by boat from the town of Sayward on Vancouver Island.
  There are no neighbours, stores, or community. The cabin is warm and comfortable and has the amenities of home.
  
  I have a number of DIY projects and home repairs that I need help with.

  Aide

  You will be helping me with repairs to the dock and building some outbuildings for storage. In addition there is general maintenance, chopping wood for winter, beach combing for logs and helping with a variety of tasks that go with off grid living. DIY skills will be useful, but are not essential as I can teach you, however you need to be in good physical shape with strong muscles as many of the tasks are physically demanding.

  Hébergement

  There is a guest room in my cabin, and there is also a guest cabin. You can have the guest cabin to yourself but it doesn't have WiFi
  
  I will provide three meals a day that we will cook together or take turns cooking. If you have special dietary needs or want specialty foods or snacks it is a good idea to bring them with you as there are no stores nearby.
