  Help

  The frame of our windows is in wood. Every 8 years we have to paint it again. The wood need to be sanded/scrubbed, degreased, the edge of the glass needs to be taped and then there is the painting. We want to do this work together with some workawayers. We can show how to do this work. It is the outside side of the windows, so we can only do the work when it is not raining
  Also some gardening work of weeding.
  And cleaning the windows inside and outside of the house; some vacuuming and cleaning of the floor inside the house.
  Main work is the painting of the windows.
