Description
I need one or two Workawayers for a renovation project, if you have painting, building or carpentry skills it would be great, contact me to chat further.
I also have a small organic garden beside the water in the kingdom of Kerry on the wild Atlantic way. I always need some help with the organic garden and general maintenance.
