The experience

Do you know how to work on motorcycles and cars?

One of the needs here, or rather my need, is to learn more about mechanics. I'm taking a motorcycle mechanics course, already learning..

Note: There are no broken vehicles here; the idea isn't to fix a vehicle, it's learning. If I fix something, even better! 😁 The idea is to teach me.

I have a Beetle, a Focus, my father's Monza, and an old dismantled YBR 125 motorcycle that I'm tinkering with

Activities & Shift

The candidate for this position, I imagine we won’t be able to spend all the time doing what’s proposed. So, could you help us with some chores, such as feeding the animals, watering the garden, taking care of the flower bed, and freeing up a few hours of the day to teach me some things about mechanics. (If it’s about motorcycles, even better—the engine is open.)

And if you know how to work on a Beetle, I would be very happy too.

Regarding mechanics: teach, tinker; if there’s something to fix, we’ll assess it and fix it.


Rules

The rules: simple:

Respect, harmony, and friendship for everyone, including the animals.
