  • Help

    Help

    Inside and outside of our home just needs a little tidy up and upkeep.
    Lots of trees equals lots of leaves. Our gardens need some care too.
    Inside is just general house and bathroom cleaning, the windows inside and outside need some tender loving care.
    Throughout the seasons we have fire wood to stack.

    On weekdays we will be at work in Invercargill for the most part and on the weekends we hunt and do chores at home together. Our vege gardens and chicken coop keep us occupied as the seasons change.
