Property Maintenance and Cleanup - Gates, OR

We are a retired couple, still hard working ourselves.  We purchased 5 acres steps from the North Santiam River in Gates, Oregon a couple years ago.  It is a beautiful piece of property but we now realize we can't do it all without some help.

Due to the fires and ice storms that we had this past winter we now have to clean up property.  Jobs needing done, are cleanup, planting trees and yard maintenance.  We have a beautiful garden that will need planting and maintenance this summer and are happy to share the bounty of the harvest.

We have an RV space on our property that overlooks the river complete with hookups. We also have a nice bathroom inside on the property for use.

In return for three days a week work (24) hours we will provide FHU.  My cousin needs help on his property and is next door so additional work would be easy to secure for additional compensation.
