Description
Hi , I'm a 45 year old guy living in the south east of Ireland , mostly involved in farm work.
Looking for someone to house sit the beach house for 6 weeks , while away on other work. Will have to fend for yourself most of the time.
No tasks involved , other than basic light day to day cleaning duties. About 5 hours per week should take care of alot.
I live 200 yards from the sea so can enjoy sea swimming if your brave enough.
Besides the farming I'm interested in sailing , skydiving , comedy , aircraft , biographies , interesting architecture and history in general , so will be getting involved in some of these things in my spare time if interested your welcome to come along.

The help required is very minimal , just basic cleaning every now and again. Main tasks is to live in the beach house , keep it aired and tidy. Security for the property while I'm away most of the time.
