  Description

  We are a family, three grown ups, living at a small farm with our horses, some sheep, chicken, cats and dogs.
  We all have full-time jobs besides the farm. So the farm is no business, but a hobby only.
  Our house as well as the barn was built in the beginning of 19th century, so there is always some renovation to do.
  There is also a need to renew parts of the enclosures for our sheep and horses more or less continiously.
  I also started with a little gardening project a while ago, which I would like to expend successively.
