Program Details

You'll be helping me out with my newest project: to build a 3-floor wooden house. It is the first wooden house of this kind here in Siwa, so you'll be part of an absolutely unique project! As you can see on the photos, the house is already standing. Now I am looking for a skilled carpenter to help me finishing it off.

Your tasks will include:
- covering the house with wood from the outside and the walls inside (at the moment we are putting sound and heat isolation onto the walls, so your task will be to cover it up again)
- creating platforms and stairs and balkonies from wood
- finishing off the ceiling including isolation

At the moment, it is most important for me to finish the ceiling and cover the house from the outside.

Activities & Shift

Your working hours are flexible as long as you fulfill your 25 hours a week. My local staff might be helping you whenever you need their assistance.

In your free time, you can explore beautiful Siwa - there are really a lot of magnificent places around to explore!
