  Help

  Our section is 3/4 acre so not extensive. Assistance required is pruning in the garden, Placing a walkway with cobblestones, Cladding the under story of a tiny home we have situated on the property.
  Our Fur babies love to walk.
  There could be depending on the time of year house washing. Or fruit picking from our orchard as and when the fruit is ready. Generally closing off tasks that complete the total renovation of our house. Nothing involving heavy equipment,
  We also have a small lifestyle block where we need the odd thing done like gardens and maintenece of weeds in paddocks etc.
  I am slow moving due to a muscle condition so and extra pair of hands is required,
  We are situated aprox 1 hour drive from Rotorua, Hobbiton, Katikati Putaruru so there is considerable opportunity for visiting and siteseeing.
  We have bus stops directly across the street from us,
  Our house is close to the city and extensive bus timetables in and around the city and the reigion.
