Description
I live by the marina at the south end of the Sunshine Coast, a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. There are amazing west coast beaches and hiking trails only a few minutes away. I am possibly looking for help in the summer with gardening and yard care and house projects (painting, small building, washing).
I always have a few house projects on the go and usually need and appreciate help.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Sunshine Coast is a special place with ocean and forest nearby. You can walk on the beach and enjoy the ocean one day and hike in the forest the next. There is a well established art community with regular artists exhibitions. The town is set in stunning beauty on the ocean facing the mountains.
Help
My projects include painting (walls, trim, railing, fence, deck, where ever the need is at the moment... ) annual cleaning projects, fixing whatever needs fixing, repairing fence, laying mulch in the garden, trimming plants and trees and weeding and mowing. Ted, my dog, would love it if you let him join you for a walk down to the marina sea walk in the morning or evening.

I have been a foreign student, my children have had foreign education experiences and I have hosted students from a variety of countries. It's always been a rich experience, and lots of fun!
Accommodation
The workaway person will have their own small, but sunny bedroom and bathroom.
I will have food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and if there's something else that the worker would like, you can always pick things up at stores nearby. We can eat our meals together, or not, depending on the day. You can cook or I can cook, we can work it out.
What else ...
There is a local bus stop nearby.
