Opportunity knocks

If anyone knows anyone interested in doing six months worth of projects in exchange for rent on the Fisherman's House contact me.

The house as you know if you read my blog is  in the alps near some of the best skiing in the world . You really don’t need a car because there’s a train station in town taking you anywhere in France you want to go. Also In town, five minutes walking distance there all the shops you’d need on a daily basis. I rarely use a car when we stay there. Geneva is thirty five minutes away by car or bus and Lausanne is just across the lake in a 20 minute boat taxi. There’s very basic furniture in the house and everything you need to live well plus all the tools and materials necessary for the projects. If you want to do some long term travel this is a great opportunity.

The projects are pretty varied and they don’t really involve a lot of labour or heavy lifting, but they do require a certain amount of skill. For example one project is laying floor boards in an upstairs room so the person would need to have some carpentry skills but other projects just involve painting. We’d ask that the person do one project per month, each project probably taking about a week of work, sometimes less. If you’re a couple though you’ll be able to go through the projects fairly fast and have a ton of time left over for travel or job hunting. And this is a great opportunity for someone retired.

Contact me at  if you’re interested. I can send you the project list and lots of other details I don't really want to share on the blog. We’re pretty open to working out something, so even if you don’t have all the skills needed for all the projects we can work it out so you could do other projects that suit your skill level or speciality.
