Introduction: We have a 5 acre property with Natural Ponds & requires some Gardening maintenance. We have 8 sheep in lamb so not a lot of stock here New shed is built with a sleepout and husband would like a hand finishing of his project and pruning the few orchard trees we have not got too many so aiding & assisting my husbands project to perfect our property. Any practical person will be helpful. We have a summer sleepout that is very private and overlooking nature. We have veg gardens that we would love to get prepared for spring.; Save Exit without saving
General Information: The pond has dried up so we now use this as paddocks for our dairy breed of sheep. They are due to have their lambs in September. We are going away for 2 weeks in October so ideally we would like to have a trustworthy couple or even two singles is fine that we can leave the place for these two weeks. We are also looking locally for some house sitters as well to feed our hens collect our eggs and take care of our 3 pooches. Our 8 sheep will need monitoring of their water and make sure they are all okay. daily.; Save Exit without saving
