Description
At this time, we are getting ready to sell our house (or find co-investors). April will be a very busy time, tidying up the outside of our property, including the gardens, making small repairs, and cleaning the house inside. The ideal Workawayer would have some carpentry skills and be physically strong, (able to help move large loads of mulch and soil, push rocks around, and climb ladders). For this reason mostly we're looking for a male helper, but it doesn't matter as long as you're strong and fit!
We live on 1.2 acres in a residential neighbourhood, near farms, but close to town as well. We have a piano and love to make music, and our very own labyrinth in the backyard. It's an ancient tool for walking mindfully, in peace, for meditation and self-discovery.
