  Help

  We have a 800 sq.m plot with an orchard and a small flower garden which need season care. We also have a 2 stored house with attic and cellar that need maintenance. In hot summer days we bring our old father(93 years old) to stay here for some days It's good to have someone to take care of him and enjoy the extended family moments.
