    Otherwise, at any time: I need help with yard and house maintenance:
    - small DIY jobs (sanding and varnishing a picnic table, repairing chairs, etc.)
    - daily help: hanging out and folding laundry, cooking meals, feeding the animals, playing with the children, etc.
    - if you're a DIY enthusiast and know how to use tools/machines: help with the renovation of our house: installing paneling, fixing shelves, creating a work surface, creating a compost toilet, hanging wallpaper, laying tiles, etc.

    3) lawnmower and brushcutter
