  Description

  We have a big family consisting of two adults and 6 children. We need some help in finishing off our bathroom and laundry room project which has been put off since the third child was born. We are doing everything on our own. We offer all homemade vegetarian meals and also yoga classes if off interest. We live in a house with a big kitchen garden off approx. 200 m2 where we grow our own vegetables. We cook mostly indian food and also make our own sourdough bread

  Help

  We mainly need help with DIY, as mentioned before we have a bathroom and laundry room in one part of our house that we need help to prepare. We have all the material needed and we are planning to hire a plumber but apart from that we are planning to do everything on our own. We would need help with a wide variety of task. It would be beneficial with one person with previous experience with building.
  
  But we could also use some help with the kitchen garden during summer, from weed picking to harvesting and cleaning the crops. We also need help with entertaining and taking care of our children so that we can focus on other tasks at hand.
  
  Staying at our place also means that the person has to take part in normally occurring house jobs together with us, such as cooking. And obviously common places and the room where our guest is staying needs to be kept in order.

  Accommodation

  We have two rooms with beds and other furniture. Everything is also prepared for another kitchen in that part of the house and should not take more than a day or two to put it up if we can get some help with that. . Initially the guest would have to share bathroom with us but the plan is to finish the bathroom in that part of our house as soon as possible.
  
  We can offer three vegetarian /vegan meals per day which will be prepared in our house. We occasionally prepare chicken and fish in the house.
