    Description

    We have a long term renovation in progress, are also in the process of decluttering and have a lovely fruitful garden that needs constant love and attention. Currently we would appreciate someone willing to garden, some cleaning, some handy work and/or decluttering and making the place festive.

    We are a small family of 3 living on 1 acre in Lawnton, Brisbane. There is plenty of space to find your happy nest inside and outside, or relaxing in the pool.

    Your interests and skills would determine the jobs you do - you have to be happy. We need help with the renovation (DIY), gardening, house decluttering and sale of items, house spring cleaning, cooking etc. Renovation work at present involves finishing the inside (kitchen, bathroom, walls etc) and may include natural earth or lime renders.

    We like to take our backpackers away to show them our beautiful part of the world, or send them on an adventure as a thank you for your help.
