Description
Hi!
My name is Chris, I'm currently building my own home solo! I’m new to the platform which is why I have no reviews yet. Im about to start painting my house late August, and could really use a hand! Read below for more 👇 best availability would be any time August.
About me: I like being outdoors - running, hiking, walking, going to the beach. I was living in Sydney but moved here recently to build my own home. I would love some help on the project! Ideally, this would be for 1-2 people. I mainly want some help with tasks like painting and assembling my kitchen cabinets.
I am based on Lamb Island, a small island about an hours drive (and short ferry ride) from Brisbane. There is public transport around but getting around can be a little tricky, so I would be happy to do some day trips to some popular close by destinations like Brisbane and the Gold Coast to show you my favourite spots!
I can offer provided meals and free accomodation (room with shared bathroom).
Look forward to hearing from you 🤞

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Lamb Island is part of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, and required a short passenger ferry ride to access. However, the ferries run frequently and buses / trains connect the ferry terminal on the mainland to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Lamb Island is great location if you're okay with a quiet location to base yourself from during your travels.
I enjoy travelling and meeting others from different cultures. When I have time on days off, I would be more than happy to take your to explore the Gold Coast and Brisbane on days off to show you some of the best beaches (Gold Coast) or main sites in Brisbane City. Alternatively, I can provide you with some suggested places to visit if I can't take you myself.
About me:
I am 32 and an electrician by trade and currently building a house. I can teach you some building skills (much of it I learn on it as the go myself!), so no experience is required. -

Help
Most days I am working on my house build. However, I won't require help all the time.
The average day might include helping me out with some chores around the house (washing, cooking or cleaning), or helping me for a few hours on the build. On the build, I'll likely need a second person for something particular (carrying something, for example), so some strength and physical fitness will be required.
However, experience with tools or working on a construction site isn't necessary, I can teach you some new skills on the go if required. -
