Be part of my project in Central Portugal: House and Garden

Beschreibung

Olà, bom dia! :-) Loads of help needed in the yards, garden and forest… with reconstruction… !!! ——————- Thank you very much for considering my project! I can send you another platform link so you can have a look at the 31 excellent reviews. :-) Please always refer to the help offered! ******************************************************************************* Hello dear community, welcome to my profile! Help me restore and old farm house with a big orchard and upcoming vegetable garden in Central Portugal while enjoying the quiet, smell and peace of the surrounding nature. :-) My name is Laura, I am 58 years (young) and from Germany. I have bought a beautiful property of 12,000 m2 (including a forest and two wells) with a Quinta plus two annexes and a ruin back in 2021. Even though I have several professional building companies there are still a lot minor things to do around the house to make it a home with normal living standards. The garden has almost 50 young fruit trees and 50 old olive trees, but other than that I did not have the chance to do magic yet… I have been a volunteer during my one-year-world-tour myself and I would appreciate some dedicated, quite independant (while helping) and skilled helpers myself now. :-) Help needed in general (different priorities though): * some this‘ and thats in DIY * help to rebuild a customized shelf * fix the garden gate * refurbish old Portuguese furniture * fix the ladies‘ bike Outdoor season: * repair 2 wheelbarrow tires * prune the 50 old olive trees – they seem to have exploded since the first cut last year * weeding / cutting the brambles (always needed!) * enforce the fire pit and burn garden waste (November/March) * dig a drainage in the garden * help me mark the limits of the land (easy!) * help to rebuild a garden fence (own wood) * help to build a chicken coop * build a little biotope * create a herb snail * prune the young fruit trees * get a vegetable garden started * help with setting up DIY leisure areas in the garden (fix a new pavilion, little pool, sweat lodge, sauna, put up the garden shower next to the well, …) * fix the yoga platform (built from pallets) * build a platform with own wood for the bell tent (and put it up as well) * dig some drainages in the garden * … (let’s see what screams at us by then :-)) maybe also of interest to you: * convert my online Workaway travel blog about my one-year-world-tour (2017/18) into a paper book (digital art, I’d call it) – you would need your own software though => Good boots or even rubber boots are highly recommended outside the Summer (I can provide size 38 and 43). Also house shoes are very useful – unless you want to walk barefoot… I kindly ask for help of 5 hours per day, 5 days a week (or equivalent as the tasks might vary due to necessity and available helpers). 🙏 Cooking, doing the dishes and keeping our living and sleeping areas clean are shared. Please know that at times I have to work remotely to keep the project going and I am also quite busy with all the sideworks of the project. Be prepared to spend time alone off grid or with the other helpers. :-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Some more information: • Rural and hilly area, I have a library (German and English literature). • My guitar waits to be played. I myself am the rhythm and love to sing! • For stays longer than two weeks there should be a trial period of one week. • You do not have to be vaccinated. • There is space for one campervan. • Next city: Ferreira do Zezere, next big city: Tomar (Templar city) • Airports: Lisbon (2 h by train), Porto (4.5 h by train) • Sea: 70 min. by car (Sao Pedro de Moel or Nazaré) • Big clean lake with watersports and quite spots (Castelo de Bode): 15 min. by car • Two bikes available (that are hopefully fixed soon) • Music: My acoustic guitar waits to be played. I have also a roll piano and some percussion instruments. I love to sing! • As the nights are usually humid (even in the summer) rubber boots are recommended (I have two pairs to borrow though). • I kindly ask for devoted 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week (in summary – times can of course vary due to your needs or the needs of the project). • I would describe myself as an experienced host. :-) • Cooking and dishes are shared and not part of the help. • Meals: I myself prefer local vegetables. But I can offer meat on the weekends as well. A strict vegan or keto diet is hard to realize though. :-) Gluten free is no problem. • Please refer to the help offered when contacting! <!–more–>
