    Description

    Hi there! Me and my 9 year old son, our cat and rabbits live in a house 10 kilometres outside Varberg. We have a garden that is overgrown and need som work. Our future goal is to make some space for chickens, rabbits and maybe pigs and sheep and we want to grow some vegetables as well.

    The house is in need for some renovation inside that we would like to get some help with. It needs new insulation, paint the walls, building etcetera.

    We mostly eat vegetarian food but sometimes meat as well.

    You can get into town with bus (25 min) or train (7 min) or you can borrow a bike and bicycle (30 min). You get to Gothenburg from Varberg with train in 40 min.

    We live next to a forest were you can go for a walk, listen to the birds and sometimes see roe deer and moose.

    Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
    I hope to meet you.

    Peace ✌️🕊💗
