  • Description

    Description

    My husband and I are in our thirties, both software developers! We live in a house in greater Vancouver, PoCo and need help with wooden cabinet painting. It's a kitchen renovation project.
    We are cat persons (we have a timid kitty who is not social and won’t show up when we have guests)!
    We love playing computer and board games, socializing and accomplishing small house projects.

    We love keeping our house clean and tidy! Weekly Vacuuming, dusting and walls cleaning is always needed! We love planting and have always cuttings, germinated seeds, etc to be potted and old plants to be repotted. We might occasionally have some projects such as balcony trails painting, door painting, cabinet painting, door nob fixing etc!

    Our house is close to Coquitlam river and pit river, both have wild beautiful sceneries. We have a bike that you can use to go biking around. Gate park is just 5 minutes walk to our house (that has all sort of sport fields). There is also a nice warm water outdoor pool close-by. Skytrain and West Coast Express train stations are also just 12-15 minutes bike from here and shopping centres can be accessed via 10 minutes biking or walking.
