Confusion about to

Hello teachers, Could you please tell me that Should i use double' to' or single' to' in the following sentences?

His job is to cut the woods and to sell them in the market. or His job is to cut the woods and sell them in the market.
Can i use both of them?

My next problem is; please tell me Is this sentence correct in speaking and writing?

She gave me the work of removing husk from paddy

another problem is; How can i build the following sentences using conjunction 'so' ?

e.g. As it was raining, I stayed at home. [ It was raining so i stayed at home.]

2- I have already seen the movie, i can't accompany you. [ I have already seen the movie so i can't accompany you.]

His job is to cut the wood (wood is a non count noun) and to sell it in the market.
His job is to cut the wood and sell it in the market.

Both forms are OK. #2 sounds more fluent.

I was not familiar with the word "paddy" except in the phrase "rice paddy" which is a piece of land used for growing rice. I see that it can be used to mean raw
