  Description

  Hello, I am just in the process of putting a roof on the barn that I have and want to develope the land for a few camping spots. The land is 20,000m2 and looking to plant up for growing food, get some chickens and create pitches for tents. I have installed water and will be installing solar panels for a small system. I do have 2 small dogs which are a French bulldog and a Dachshund. I will be building a shower hut and compost toilet. If anyone would like to learn a few basic building skills let me know.
