More details about your skills

I’ve worked some small wood projects like building furniture or repairing a house. I’ve layered tiles, painted walls, changed the flooring and connected water pipes.

In the garden I have repaired a pond cleaned the filters, built fences and helped installing an automatic water system

I can (re)plant veggies, trees, flowers basically everything, I like splitting fire wood and have cut and pruned trees +fruit trees.

I’m familiar with the concept of mulching to suppress weeds and keep water in the soil and similar techniques as well as planning what to grow in garden beds

I grew up with lots of pets and enjoy having them around which includes all the tasks to take care of them. I am experienced with raising and teaching dogs and am able to ride horses and properly care for them.
