Description
We are a busy couple at work and in the community and would like support on our lifestyle block. We have animals to care for, gardens to tend and need support in the house at times. Currently we need to upgrade the houses our pigs live in and their paddocks to make it easier to move them around. If you have some experience in construction or know how to use a hammer and a shovel, we would love to host you.
