Program Details

Food is not provided - only the room - because the amount of work expected is very minimal, maybe a maximum of 1 hour per day, spread over the day.

You might need to move furniture/equipment from one part of the building to another for your convenience. The building is unheated, except for your personal space, which is heated by antique furnace.

There are no hours to keep, but you may coördinate with a second person to ensure one person is on the premises at all times. The other person lives on a different floor.
