The experience

We seek help to renovate an old wooden house. we already Insulationed it with straw and clay coat and then plastering with cob (a mixture of clay, sand and straw). We'll renovate by planing or standing the floor and inside walls.
There will be two people with good experience coming from time to time to help us in the project. Helping hands will come from Samuel, an all-rounder to organize and instruct, from friends and volunteers.

Program Details

You live with us and share part in daily activities such as garden works and renovations, playing a bit with our daughter or jobs around the horses. Usually there is free the in the afternoon. But honestly we are pretty flexible.

currently we put main focus on the wooden house, and leave other tasks lay on the side. (august, september 24)

We'll teach you what we can and provide the best experience we can. For sure you will meet some other people from our ecovillage and probably we make a little tour around with you.

Activities & Shift

We don't really have shifts but commonly we start doing things in the morning for around 5 hours so, 5 days a week.
commonly there is free time in the later afternoon a bit dependent on when we manage to get started, if early enough in the morning.
and we are flexible to adopt with you and your wishes and needs as far as possible.

Rules

Only bring your dogs if you know how to deal with them.

Friendly communication about expectations and needs so we can make it great for all of us.

We are a family with a decent amount of privacy need. So we search for people that like to hang out with us but also like to be on their own and also know how to spend their free time without us.

We prefer natural soaps and shampoos.
as our grey water ends on our lands.
