  Description

  Hi all :)
  Feel like learning some carpentry/building skills while relaxing in a house you can make you own home during your stay?
  
  My name is Braden, I am a qualified builder who specialises in architectural homes.
  I am looking for eager and fun spirits to join me at my home to help with the gardening, building.
  It is a large property, close to the city, beach and river; yet in a quiet location.
  
  Don't be alarmed if you have none or little experience building. I will guide any projects and we can work out what will suit you best.
  
  Things to do include:
  -Building a chicken coup
  -Painting
  -Building an outdoor bath area for a cast iron bathtub
  -Building a deck
  -Renovation projects inside.
  -Setting up and tending to vegetable gardens.
  -Planting trees
  
  And more! There is lots of fun to be had.
  
  I am a very easy going and inquisitive guy. I have been a workawayer myself as I traveled around Europe and found the experience very rewarding. I came across some places I loved and learnt a lot from and places I found were a bit too exhausting.
  When I am not busy I am socialising, listening to as much new music as I can find, reading or trampling along any bush path.

  There is a bicycle you are free to use.
  And a fishing rod too.
  
  You will be working at your own pace with clear guidance on building projects. You will learn as you work, working with more tools as you display your confidence.

  Help

  The most help will be tending to building projects. But there are other things to do around the place. You can help by cooking, or even by cleaning and looking after the place.
  
  Food will be provided. Each week food will be delivered to the house. If I am there I will be there to cook, however you will be at the mercy of your own culinary skills when I am out for work.
