Painting shutters & windows & doors at a Chateau in France
The experience
Every 3 years we must maintain the shutters and windows but sanding down the old paint and repainting them. It is important to ensure the chateau is kept maintained and also aesthetically pleasing.
It will be a team project so we are looking for 2-4 volunteers to work together as there will be lifting involved and ladder work.
I collect you and drop you off at Mont de Marsan station Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays only.
