  Descrição

  =======
  probably no vacancy until mid November, but if you might be interested for later in the year, book mark me on this site for the future.
  =======
  
  My profile..omnivore, hetero male.
  .. living in Portugal since 1990, with diverse interests, mostly things 'classic' I have bikes to restore, a boat to maintain, an old stone built cottage and various workshops and outbuildings that need attention, and I have a huge pile of used mahogany planks, skirting boards, panelling, all needing sorting, de/nailing, to be used for new chicken coops, building a shelter, etc, so I need someone comfortable working with power saws and general woodworking stuff. Still , there is garden cleaning, some house tasks, perhaps a bit of painting and decorating, or if the weather is not good there's stuff to do in the house.
  
  I have a conservation and restoration business, professionally working with works of art on paper
  Since the storms and tempests of January and early February here in central Portugal there's quite a bit of clearing and garden work, and I need some one , or two who are not afraid of a bit of heavy work, cutting , moving , stacking wood, radicallly sorting an overgrown neglected jungle of a garden , bonfires, Long term a possibility, you can be as independant as you want
  
  Ok some additions to the first information. Most of the hard grunting work has been done now, so it will be more general manual garden maintenance and maybe some light duties in general property stuff, housesitting , two dogs , bunch of chickens, short term possible , but longer term preferred. get in touch.

Strictly no smoking inside anywhere on the property .Bicycles here, .. I will cook a full meal every evening, or you can share the cooking... and provide basic breakfast and lunch but I wont prepare it for you. 4 hours a day five days a week, You don't work whatever two days a week you choose but still board and lodging is provided.
