    Description

    We found a new place for us and our huskies near the Jokkfall, Arctic Circle in northern Sweden.
    Surrounded by beautiful nature we are living directly beneath the Kalix River, whith good fishing possibilities..

    We are actually in need of a good handyman or -woman who can help to build a new kennel at our new place. Please only reach out for this job if you have experience in building and are not afraid of working outside in all weathers.

    We need someone asap. for about 6 weeks.

    In your free time you can go fishing, biking, running, cuddeling our puppies, picking wild berries in the forest or just be lazy and do nothing.

    The accomodation is a caravan or an outhouse with elecricity but no running water.
    Shower and toilet in the mainhouse nearby.

    We will pay the minimal swedish wage for every hour worked.

    Please feel free to ask any question.
