    Description

    I have lived in this little village for 30years on a little hobby farm. Over the past few years, my health has begun to deteriorate, and now find myself in need of help , at least for the winter months.as I heat with wood I am in poor health, and find I need for help for the spring/ summer as well, as I recently had Spine Surgery..I could accommodate one person with some building skills , or a couple with same, and that would make the work go faster!! I am not a demanding person, however, do have some needs that I expect to be met. T he repairs to the roofing on the Wood shed would be a great help, then I would feel secure for the Heavy Snow last winter. did damage. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope that we can be mutually helpful! I look forward to your reply! DOGS WELCOME!!
    UPDATE: I recently had more surgery, and am in rather desperate need of assistance, at least for the spring/summer months. I will also need help for the winter, when I heat with wood ,however am in need

    Thank You for taking the time to read this, and perhaps, help me!

    Help

    I am a senior that has lived alone, and now find myself in need of assistance with some help for things aren't as easy as they were. I have a small hobby farm, in a wee village at the edge of a forest on a 90 mile long lake in the SE area of BC. This is a Tourist area, and lots of " work for pay' jobs are also available as well as help for exchange for accommodation in the Summer season. I have had great difficulty getting someone to come, as I live in a village that is rather remote, however there is traffic, .My needs are minimal, just need someone that I can RELY UPON, as my health is not good , having recently had Spine Surgery. so allot I am restricted to do.
