Détails du programme

Main activities will include (more to come as the project will move forward)
07-09/2025:
-paint roof wood
-prepare wood for old fashion wall structure
-build up old fashion wall with clay-lime-straw mixture,
I will provide protection for hands, eyes and hears. I have electrical tools for some part of the work but people coming in will have to be able to use their hands.
The plan is to help 5 hours a day, from monday to friday, with a break in between. So that you can enjoy the area on your time off.
This might sound tough but I do prefer people to be aware that it is not going to be easy. However, I think the experience will be worth it.
THERE IS NO WIFI IN MY HOUSE

Règles

-I offer breakfast & lunch on working days only (I provide the ingredients but together we make it, eat it an clean after). I do not make special menus, my meals are mainly made of vegetables, rice, pasta...no fish, very little meat.
You provide and make your own meals for evenings & on non working days
-I accept non smokers only
-No partying, no alcohol drinking
-So that everyone can rest, silence is expected from 10pm to 6am
-We all share the place as a community, so we all participate in the cleaning and maintaining it clean and properly "running".
-We use dry toilets in the house: it means that you might be asked to help in emptying the toilets' bucket
-We try to respect the planet and the water given to us: one shower a day maxi, the objective is to get clean, not a to have a nap, 7-8 min are enough for that…not 10-15 or more
-You get a clean room when you arrive, you are expected to clean it when leaving
-This is a private house: no pictures nor videos
