Recovering from recent hip surgery I am in need of a few minor house chores , & maybe some assistance sometimes with meal preparation & grocery shopping would be a great help as well .With minimum help around the house being required , you would have heaps of personal time off to explore this beautiful green & leafy environment of clean, fresh air , bike & walking tracks close to the house, as well as lakes & Aussie wildlife living in our area .
There is a near new road bike & a mountain bike as well, for you to ride , complete with lights & helmet for your use .
I would particularly welcome someone with carpentry skills to rebuild my deteriorating pergola, with most replacement parts on site, but no skilled workers to use them , do you have this talent ?
