    Help

    Over the last year with the help from great workawayer's my house has been painted and garden landscaped. The work I now require is general garden maintenance and maybe some garden improvements...If I have no work I will take you to elderly friends who require work done around there place and who are not in able to host....help in the studio if I think it is right for you. My art practice usually keeps me quite busy so its good to have workers who can take instructions and be left to to the job also happy with supervision and do the projects together.

My home is one hour north of Wellington in the coastal town of Waikanae which has supermarket and movie theater etc. It is a 20 minute walk to the village and train / bus station.Trains regularly go to Wellington and buses to the beaches along with great bush walk just behind me.
