Exterior building projects (garden structures, greenhouse)
Off-grid plumbing and electrical experience is required

So is the furnished house at your location or is it in town and the person will use their vehicle and gas to get to your location 2 days a week?

If the last question, how far is the commute?

Does the furnished house come with pots/pans, dishes and bedding?

The house is furnished.

My homestead is across a tidal bay in the same city and area.
