I am a DIY home renovator and an extrovert. It's much more fun to work on projects with someone else, and I get more done when someone is helping. Stopping for a work break now and then would be a normal part of the fun.

The projects we tackle together will depend on your skills and capacity. After we talk, projects could include: tidying and reorganisation of the shed and garden areas; developing a vegie patch; some moderate landscaping; &/or helping with kitchen, meal, and house cleaning.

Whilst there is some flexibility, a normal day would start with breakfast, with the expectation that we would all be ready to start work by 8am. We would then work together until 1 a (5 hours). This would include a relaxed lunch, eating, and chatting as we prepare the evening meal. After that, it's your free time.

You are invited to pitch in!
We can provide all meals if required. We ask that meal setup, serving, and cleanup be part of community family life, not part of the 5 hours of work.


Notes:
• Coffee, tea, and soda/tap water are provided, but feel free to bring your own alternatives (in moderation).
• Opt out of home meals if you would like to explore local takeaways, restaurants, and wineries.
• Depending on my afternoon commitments, it may be possible to provide transport to a nearby beachside town. Lots of options!
• Public transport is available within a 2-minute walk.
• Our home is strictly non-smoking inside or near the hou
