Description

We are an adult couple living in the small town of Lillehammer in southeastern part of Norway. We both enjoy the outdoors and like to go for long walks in the forest or in the mountains, both in summer and winter (skis). We exercise regularly and are both in pretty good physical shape.

We have our own house with a fairly large garden and are used to both gardening and various renovation projects. Ingunn is most keen on gardening, which includes 5 apple trees, 4 plum trees, 4 cherries and rhubarb, and of course flowers.

We are both used to solving practical problems indoors and outdoors. We are decent and reliable and used to taking responsibility and working independently. We are active in the Lillehammer tourist association where we also lead tours and events.

Ingunn:
I work at the County Governor in Innlandet (the name of the county), at the department for planning and land management.I studied biology and land management. I take the main responsibility for the bushes and trees in the garden, in addition to the crops. From the harvest I make cakes, jam, canning and juice – so it covers our use for the whole year.

Lars:
I am a civil engineer working in technical consultancy, mainly with hydraulic structures (rivers, flood control, hydropower). Lars is interested in DIY projects and has, among other things, laid slabs, built retaining walls, fences, outdoor stairs. I have also changed the windows and doors in our former house, and I also have experience with building simpler concrete structures.
