  Descrição

  This project is located in Revelstoke, between the Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges in British Columbia, Canada. This last year we began building a three bedroom hempcrete carriage house in downtown Revelstoke. I designed the house myself and am building it with my partner, a local contractor. We are looking for people interested in helping with the finishing of this project this winter, laying flooring, staining wood and other tasks. You will be having this experience in one of the most beautiful places in the world, with fantastic skiing.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  English is our spoken language and therefore your english language skills will be advanced and you would learn about building an eco friendly, passive house from the on-site contractors. I am keen to improve my language skills in French and Spanish and look forward to welcoming French and Spanish speakers in particular. You will get to know a lot about the local area, ski hill and all our favourite places.

  Ajuda

  I am looking for people willing to work helping to finish the carriage house, helping to lay floor, stain wood etc. Someone who is handy and has experience in carpentry would be great. I would ask for approximately five hours help per day, depending on what is needed on any given day, which will probably be in the mornings from @ 8am to 1pm, Monday to Friday.

  Este anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
  I speak basic Spanish. French is a second language here and my daughters go to French school so it is always good for them to have the opportunity to socialise with native french speakers.

  You will live in our house in Arrow Heights close to the ski hill. You will have a private bedroom and access to a shared bathroom. A fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and space for your own food in the second fridge. I will provide snacks and breakfast food, for you to prepare for yourself, and one fully cooked meal a day. You can use the fridge, freezer and kitchen equipment to stock and prepare any other food and snacks you might buy for yourself.

Each person will be responsible for laundering their bed linen (there is a large washer and drier available), cleaning their rooms, keeping communal spaces clean and tidy and respecting our home.

  Algo mais...

  Revelstoke's downtown has a wonderful selection of cafes, bars and restaurants; a movie theatre; an aquatic centre, with pool, sauna and steam room, two gyms and bike shops. Revelstoke is a friendly, community with people from all over the world who have chosen to live here because of the beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes and amazing outdoor activity opportunities. I have a canoe that would be available for Workaways to use and it is easy to hire mountain bikes locally so you could either learn this as a new sport or hone any skills you already have!
