Hey there packers! I have some roofing needing to be repaired on a barn. All the sheets are on site but the guy doing it did not turn up. In the event there isn't ht people to help you would just be helping with general duties round the farm.

Nice experience, got to connect with the animals and enjoyed the outdoors. The flat was very cozy and i had my own space. Also Mandy provided lunch and made sure that we had everything we needed. On the other hand sometimes the tasks were very tiring and breaks were needed but they weren't contemplated , also the farm wasn't very close to the city. Overall my time was good, but note this here you need to have a good physical condition in order to do the job right

Thanks for the review, I always said to you to take a break if you needed it and to make up the time you had had as a break. I am sorry if that got lost in communication but I did see that you went in for breaks and then worked on a little so I was unaware that this was a problem. I always asked you to let me know if there is an issue or if I can change something, it is possible that it was lost in the language difference.
