I wish I were there. We could trade labor and help each other. Here renting is as expensive as owning. In some cases more so.Boy that's the truth. I can't get anyone to help me, I'm too old and short, to do much myself. I love this house but, it is falling apart as much as I am.
I was just thinking that perhaps I could advertise for bartering or trading help. I do try to barter for coop cleaning sometimes. I'm going to set an ad on CL offering chicks or hens for labor. I know one guy who will hold those panels for me I think.
