The Experience

We live on 9 acres of pristine forest, just 3 km from a charming seaside town. As a carpenter, I've dedicated the last six years to hand-building a second home on our property with the help of my two daughters and wonderful volunteers. Now that it's complete, I'm seeking some extra hands to assist with simple building tasks, vegetable gardening, and general house maintenance, cleaning snd cooking.

Jeff and Billie are wonderful hosts. If you visit during the summer, chances are you'll get to go to the local beaches. I helped with half cleaning half cooking. Cleaning was mainly deep cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, or the car. I even got to sand and oil some wood. Cooking was for 1-2 hours making banana bread, focaccia, hummus and dinners. Jeff has a kind and forgiving heart but is particular about certain aspects so make sure to ask what the standard is of the task so you can meet expectations.
