Description

I have a hard at hearing and is 65 years young.
A new chapter in my life is about to start after August.
I have bought a farm that will be transformed from cane farm to a lush beautiful self-sustained farm.
My plan is to have soilbeds, hydroponic, dutch buckets, soilbeds and fruit trees.
I am a beekeeper and have 7 dogs that will increase by inheritance of another 7-8 dogs.
I intend to have a horse or 2 and raise few sheep with some chickens on the farm.
The house itself needs a little tlc and transformation as well so building skills with ideas and small jobs electricians are welcome.
There is a need for painting in many places, small furniture to restore, plenty grass to cut and fences to make for all animals.
I am a believer in teamwork. Its the best way to achieve great things.
Only serious workawayers is needed, preferably 20+ years.
