Descripción
I live on 2 acres on the outskirts of Houston. Property is mostly wooded. So far, I've worked on infrastructure on the property and have started an ecological garden concept from scratch. We have lots of cats, dogs, bees and chickens on the property.
I am looking for someone that is interested in long(er) term stay that would help me take care of my homestead, preferably several months or more. I travel frequently and would like to have a reliable person on the property. During my absence your main responsibilities will be: mowing, weed eating, feeding chickens/cats, watering garden/plants, keeping property neat and clean, etc. Depending on time of year, this takes about 2-4 hours a day M-F.
When I am home, I'd ask you to help me work on small projects. Basic construction experience would definitely come in handy. If we are not working on a project, we would emerge in gardening and herbal/homemade remedies, which is a small income source of the homestead. I'd be happy to teach you what I know and would love to learn from you as well!
In return you would be able to stay for free in our tiny house with kitchenette and full-size bathroom, which has electric, running water, and Wi-Fi. I will also supply the bulk of your groceries. Some of the food will be from our own homestead.
There are plenty of jobs around the Houston area. You will have enough time to yourself in the evenings and on weekends in case you would like to work while staying here with us.
The property is about 30 minutes from the heart of Houston. But there are grocery stores, restaurants, Walmart, Home Depot within 10 minutes of home. A car is a must since walking is not feasible and public transportation is not available. Here on our homestead, it is very quiet. You will have a lot of time to yourself.
I am internationally diverse with lots of European experience but yet, I am simple, frugal, and hardworking and am looking for an equal minded person/couple to share my homestead with.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
