Calling all WOOFER's and Willing Worker Backpackers!
Do you have a few free weeks to get your hands (and the rest of you ) very dirty?
I'll be cleaning out, then renovating a 65 year old traditional type cottage in a 800 person village in northern Hungary from about the middle of April for a month or so.
The Deal is This...
Do you have a few free weeks to get your hands (and the rest of you ) very dirty?
I'll be cleaning out, then renovating a 65 year old traditional type cottage in a 800 person village in northern Hungary from about the middle of April for a month or so.
The Deal is This...
- I supply your food and a bed for the period of time with me...
- You supply willing hands (complete with body and mind) for the time agreed to stay
- I will meet you at the local train station and take you back upon completion of agreed time... if necessary
- ...and will pay your return train fares from Budapest to my place if you complete a full month of reno help
- Conditions will be rough, but that's what adventures are all about
- The place is sound, but full of junk collected over 60+ years, so that will be fun scrounging thru and cleaning out piles of old village history and artifacts
- Power, water and gas should all be hooked up and functional
- A new septic tank(for the loo) is being installed first off, so all could be in working order upon arrival
- I will cook your meals and supply a nice clean bed for you daily
Some of the Work expected to be carried out by all... - Clearing the paddock (2000m2) of old timber and clutter and piling it into heaps for collection by garbos or rubbish tip trucks
- Mowing the cleaned up yard
- Clearing up the debris from an old collapsed shed
- Stacking roof tiles and timber from it
- Cutting non needed timber into fire wood sized pieces
- Cleaning out a small summer kitchen and converting it to a private pad with ensuite...has power!
- Clearing out the attic which is full of junk too
- Sweeping and mopping surfaces
- Washing floors, windows and walls
- Sealing/undercoating and painting surfaces
- Pruning shrubs around the place
- Digging and edging a garden plot
- Planting herbs and vegies
- cleaning out the chook and pig pens
- Looking at how to buy a cow, some chooks and a pig or goat?
- Getting very dirty
- Having heaps of fun
- Partaking of an odd beer or so after work finishes daily
- Lots of home made goodies and great farm house meals
- Feeling satisfied that you really have accomplished something worthwhile
- Sleeping really well at night!
- Basically, a lot of handy man type jobs to make the place sparkle and clean so basic reno work can begin in May...
- Then in May, I'll be needing painters, sparkies, tilers, plasterers, plumbers, chippies and cement rendering tradies!
