Lisa works full time, while Dave is off work with an injury. We now are raising chickens and vegetables. We have 3 cats and 2 dogs(small), Dave is also limited in the amount of physical work which he can do.
Spring and Summer is always the busiest time but there is always something to do all year long. Not so much in the winter. but we might have an indoor project to finish.
Duties can include but not limited to:
-painting
-cooking
-carpentry
-yard work
-cleaning
-gardening
-splitting firewood
and whatever else needs done at the time. We would expect 4 -5 hours of help per day. We would like you to stay a week or maybe up to 3 weeks.
We will provide you with a warm, cozy bedroom with a shared bathroom, 3 meals a day and access to the internet. Sometimes you might have to cook for yourself and maybe us.
Depending on the time of year, we'll even show you the local sights!
