A straw bale, passive solar house with solar panels and composting toilets built on a site designed with permaculture principles in the village of Portneuf, Quebec. This is a great opportunity to learn all kinds of skills and help me finish the house and continue improving the property's fertility and design. I am hoping to find someone willing to stay for a longer period of time, between one and three months. But don't hesitate to contact me even if you can only stay for a shorter period of time.
I have extensive green building knowledge and experience, and am a Permaculture designer, consultant and teacher. I am offering free room and board in exchange for enthusiastic and conscientious work and pleasant, respectful company. If I give any courses while you are here, you can obviously attend free of charge.
Amongst the things that need doing before the winter are: finishing work on the exterior siding, some plumbing for the heating system, installing a ventilation system, interior finishing around windows and doors, flashing on the exterior of the house, thermal compost, soil preparation for next year's garden, and some fall planting.
Je parle français.
Hablo español.
