  We like to keep our weekends free and work hard during the week. Our perfect exchange would be someone that is willing to learn and help to remodel our private residance. Help us get organized, likes light yard maintenance. Share cooking ideas and finish up Just in time for the weekend. Weekends we share with our friends normally on the water, or beach.

  Help

  My wife and I live in a single level 3 bedroom 2 bath house in a fix-r-upper house in down town Destin. i Need some help around the house. Also could use help in the garden trimming trees, hedges, and organizing. We have recently downsized from a larger house and I would also like help organizing
  
  The house is in order and everything works, but it needs updating. I will also need help with home remodeling. I am doing one project at a time, and occasionally take long breaks to welcome guests and family.
  
  Remodeling the bathrooms and kitchen, Painting, Garden and home projects Organize, Organize, organize.
  
  After work we only have a few hours a day to work on the house so having it clean and ready for the next step while we are not home will save us allot of time.
  
  Occasionally We also travel to New Orleans and help my mother with the same types of projects.
