Ove Andreasen, 65 years old. He has lived in a barn for twenty years. He has never been married and has not any children. To provide for himself, he works at a farm and in the wood.

Ove has all that covers his requirements. The functions are placed logical in proportion to each other and especially to the weatherconditions.
