After she moves I could use two extra set of hands with many projects around the house, I am looking for a couple of persons with enough interest and energy to help me reorganize the house & the Garage
We are easy going and love meeting new people. We would not ask you to do something or any project that we would not do ourselves.

The above listing was posted at least 2 years ago since than several workaways volunteers visited us ,
we achieved most of the initial help projects I needed at the time , they had a great time in New York ,

For the above listed periods the help needed will be setting Garage sale twice a week + minor house keeping
MUST be teams of two as the available accommodation at my place is “one large bed”
