  Description

  Hey, my name is Bjørn. I live on a small farm from 1850 with my cute and lovely cat Bonus.
  I do not run this farm as my day job, and the projects I need help with are not part of normal farm operations.
  
  I'm a handyman with many practical skills, and I run my own little company.
  I’m going to be busy at work some days, but most days I will be home to assist and work with you on the projects.
  
  I hope to get hjelp with tidying up the barn, in the garage and around the farm.
  Carpenting inside and outside the barn.
  Make a door for the garage. Lawnmowing. Cleaning the house.
  Painting walls and ceiling inside the house. Build a small woodshed with doors. Buid a sauna with a fireplace + a big bath tub. Build a greenhouse. Planting and maintaining a nice kitchen garden. Weed flower beds.
  Shoveling snow around the yard in the winter.
  
  I also brew beer from time to time and I could need some assistance around the brewday.
  Cut down trees in the forest and making firewood for the future is another ongoing task.
  Maybe you have car mecanic skills? I have several cars that need some repairing.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am very willing and happy to share my knowledge, whatever it may be.
  I love to make electronic music and practice DJ'ing, and I like to play different boardgames.
  There might be several opportunities to join me on trips, may it be by car, a bicycle ride, rollerblades, crosscountry skiing, snowkiting, mushroom hunting, electronica parties, etc.
  
  Possibilities for learning a list of practical skills, like welding and carpenting, three-work, masonry, metal-work, plumbing and many others.
  
  I also look forward to learn from my workawayers, whether it's music production, art projects, or learning some new practical skills.
