Description
We have a 32 acre property on a Lake in The Okanagen area of B.C. We are restoring it after damage by renters. We need help with a lot of mostly outdoor tasks. Fencing, landscaping and small building restoration projects.There are many hiking and mountain biking areas, fishing camping and other water sports. Wine tasting tours in the many world class wineries in the area. We are 4-5 hours fr Banff, Jasper and Manning National parks as well as Vancouver. Many music festivals in the area and a lot of plays and live performances. My Wife and I have a wellness clinic where we practice Hypnotherapy and Biomagnetic Pair Therapy out of a home based office.

What else ...
We live in the Okanagen, the California of Canada. Unlimited out door experiences are here for hiking, camping, bird watching, (we have a large population of raptors and other bird life, deer and coyotes.) Fishing, swimming right across the road. We are quiet people in a rural wilderness setting. We watch movies have campfires and cook outside in the summer. Neighbours are a distance away but friendly and helpful. The nearest larger city, (Kamloops is 30 min away and no public transportation. It is truly a unique experience.
