Description
We (Judith, Jurgen & Juliette) are a small family that is trying to build a place to grow old (in the long term that is :)), not only for the three of us but also for the (in total 4) families we hope to accommodate on our premises in the future in a cohousing project. A dog and many free birds in the garden complete our herd for now.
We call the project Ju'dderhoes; a combination of the Zeeuws-Vlaamse word for 'your' and the Zuid-Limburgse word for 'home'.
We think sharing our way of living and learning from others would be great. And we hope we can travel-while-at-home when doing tasks together with energetic volunteers from all over the world.
We are currently working on the floor and the insulation walls of the long barn and learning to place doors and windows ourselves.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We are happy to share all our knowledge of Dutch culture and language, and discuss all we know about sustainable building (never enough, but a good start), architecture and project management. If your skill level is still low: no worries, we can do tasks together on improving it (as we are every day improving our own under-development skills and knowledge).
We love cooking and have a well-stocked kitchen, so if you want to learn about weekly meal prep, try plant-based cooking and pick up some new recipes, joining us in cooking is definitely an option.
And ... you would be staying in a real Limburgse Hoeve.

A stay of (minimum) 1 to (maximum) 2 weeks is preferable for us.

We are working on building new homes for a group of 4 cohousing families that can live here in the future. Except for the high roofs we want to do everything ourselves. That is why we keep investigating sustainable and doable options for non-experts (such as ourselves).
This year we hope to complete the insulation and interiors of the Long Barn and Tiny House.
You are very welcome to help maintain the premises, and gardens and keep our household running smoothly and also to work with us on the DIY project itself. Make sure you let us know in advance what you have in mind, so we can ensure expectations meet. We prefer to be host to teams of 2.
After work and on your days off, you have much free time during which Jurgen & Judith will still work on the project. As a part of your application: tell us how you will be filling that free time. We are very willing to share nice suggestions fitting your hobbies and interests.
We'll evaluate together with you after a couple of days if expectations, tasks & living together work out the way we all hope/plan/want.

Improving our languages on the job would be excellent, especially our French and Spanish could use some improvement, but training in any language will be fine. We are happy to share our knowledge and train you in the Dutch and English language.
Hébergement
We have a bedroom in the house available for our 2 (sharing a double bed) volunteer guests.
Advice from a previous workaway guest: bring warm indoor shoes :)
We work weekdays between 8:30 and 15:00 with plenty of break time. Wednesdays and weekends are off.
Meals are provided all days during the stay and we have regular coffee/tea breaks. We close off the week every Friday with a 'weekendfeestje' with a snack to celebrate the weekend. By the way: Judith and Jurgen eat plant-based-ish and Juliette is vegetarian (except when she eats salmon maki).
You will be part of our household during the stay, so you can join us in all kinds of activities, sports, festivals, puzzle and movie nights, walks, cooking & more. This also means we trust you to participate in regular chores; so crown yourself chief dishwasher or 'setter and cleaner of tables' during your stay, or go with the flow and see what you can help with on a day-to-day basis.
We appreciate it if you bring your 'signature dish'-recipe and cook one evening (or more) during your stay (& it is okay to pick your new favorite signature dish from our cooking bookshelf). Of course, we can help with cooking (& learn from you).
Autres infos...
The surroundings of where we live in the southern part of Limburg are wonderful (for hiking & biking). You can borrow our bike for a ride if you want, or borrow our dog for a walk :), he really likes that!
If you like swimming, bring your swimsuit because there is a great (in & outdoor) pool at a cycling distance.
The train station is 15 minutes on foot and the train takes you easily to Maastricht & Aken or Heerlen - where you can make a tour to visit the many outdoor murals. The train station Klimmen-Ransdaal was voted - again - to be the best train station in the Netherlands.
No smoking in the house and buildings (preferably not at all), no drugs, moderate alcohol.

We had a lot of snow; working outdoors was a bit rough (and cold). Faye is experienced at working with wood and carpeting, handing over tasks was easy. Jurgen and Faye worked on building the wooden skeleton of the wall.
