Program Details

To tell the truth there's no fixed schedule.
The daily routine is based on the weather, moon phases and our mood.
Doesn't mean that pure anarchy is the way but I'm more focused on doing things in the best way and with dedication instead of a standard scheduled job.

Activities & Shift

The property is mostly made of wild wood and small portions of farming land.
Basically I need help for cutting grass, logging wood, pet sitting, fence fixing, house renovation and so on.

Rules

We can start our interaction and relationship just if between BOTH of us there'll be the maximum respect. We ate gonna talk from the beginning about how we prefer being treated and what we think are our string and weak aspects on which we can work on it.
Every person comes from a different culture and experiences so it'll be important to be clear from the very beginning how to conduct our short shared time together.
