I am an early retired lady, here with my daughter and 4 large dogs all live in the house. We need some maintenance, and minor tasks doing in the house, such as lime pointing, plastering, painting, etc and outside setting up the veg plot and poly tunnel..fallen deadwood removing from the woods and logging up. I need a roofer to fix my barn roof too. I cant do this all on my own and need some help...
