Description
Hello amazing traveler adventurers!
We are a family of four living in East Vancouver near Commercial Drive. Our home is an active cultural hub of East Vancouver. My partner Katherine and I have two young school age children and a beautiful friendly cat. We are professional artists and are always in need of help around the house to keep up with ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and developing of diy projects.
I have other projects outside of east van in need of your help.
I'm renovating a small house on a beautiful lake in southern BC 1.5 hours as seen in the photos. I'm developing a small acreage rural property in Northern BC on a lake. As well I have two aging parents in downtown Vancouver in need of help with home related tasks.
I'm looking for open minded folks who enjoy making life beautiful and can be radically self reliant.
Kind regards
Michael
