Ulkotöitä

Ulkotöitä is a Finnish term that translates to "outdoor work" or "external tasks." It generally refers to any type of labor or activity performed outside of a building, as opposed to indoor work. This can encompass a wide range of occupations and tasks.

Examples of ulkotöitä include construction, farming, landscaping, road maintenance, and forestry. It also covers activities such as gardening, clearing snow, washing a car, or performing any manual labor in an open-air environment. The nature of ulkotöitä often means workers are exposed to various weather conditions, such as sun, rain, wind, and cold. Consequently, appropriate clothing and safety precautions are typically required for these jobs.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe any necessary tasks that need to be done outside the home, even if not for professional purposes. In a domestic context, it might refer to tasks like mending fences, painting the exterior of a house, or tending to outdoor pets. The emphasis is on the location of the work, being external to enclosed structures.
