    Description

    We are a busy house with 3 boys, 10yo and a pair of 12yo’s .
    lots of small jobs to be done as it’s been hard to find time.
    We like to have fun, who doesn’t. We enjoy campfires and swimming although our pool is shut down for the season.
    We enjoy campfires, the kids are in school and enjoy going to the local pool and adventures to see their grandmothers.
    dad is currently recovering from back injury and mom is getting ready to rejoin the workforce.
    We have a small acreage that we have been slowly moving toward a hobby farm.
    We have some egg laying chickens and some pigs that are more in the pet category. We enjoy BBQ’s and are learning to smoke our own meat.
    Would like some sheep in the near future, that requires some fencing and a small shed/barn

    There are many activities to do locally, we are walking distance to forest and beach walks, mountain bike trails within riding distance, there is a bike for use if you wish.
