    Help

    Painting wooden fences, painting barn doors, mowing lawns, trimming trees. It's about purely maintaining the house, not commercial work. They are easy manual tasks, but are easier to do with two people than if I do it alone.

    Holzzäune streichen, Scheunentore streichen, Rasenmähen, Bäume beschneiden. Es geht um die reine Erhaltung des Hauses, nicht um gewerbliche Arbeit. Es sind leichte handwerkliche Tätigkeiten, die aber einfacher zu zweit erledigt werden können, als wenn ich es alleine mache.
