  Descrição

  We are a family of four with a three year old boy and a one year old girl. We both work in schools, he as a teacher in math and science ad she as a social worker. Before we met each other we traveled a lot and collectively we have been to most parts of the world. Nowadays we live in a 1,5 story house with a big yard that partly has been allowed to be reclaimed by nature. We have a few flowerbeds where we grow some vegetables and we are trying to reclaim some parts of our garden. We are also trying to completely refurbish and renovate and old 19th century cottage we have in our yard. At the moment of writing we have 12 hen and three cats. We live close to nature on the countryside with sheep right on our doorstep, a lake perfect for swimming a 10 minute bike ride away, 10 minutes by car to the closest shopping center and 20 minutes by car to the center of town, Karlskrona.

  Ajuda

  1. We require help with the deconstruction o the small cabin in our yard. It has unfortunately been deemed to affected by time to be able to save in a reasonable way. Our goal is to remake it into a green house with a stone oven. We want to save what material we can and use as building material for future projects.
  
  2. General gardening and landscaping, reclaiming parts from nature, making more parts of the garden more accessible. This requires moving quite a lot of dirt by hand, raking, sowing grass. A lot of freedom here to choose where and what to do, making your own designs and experiment.
  
  3. Wood maintenance, there are a lot of wood framing our yard, three big fences, a balcony and logs placed as support along the different levels of our yard. More or less all of these need a fresh coat of paint.
  
  4. Help with the kids, cooking, cleaning and day to day maintenance of the house.
