    Help

    House maintenance is becoming too much for us. We need help (with us) for DIY, painting, gardening, small repairs. We are handymen, we can teach you but we are a bit overwhelmed. For a second part, we need someone to look after the house (and maybe the dog) in our absence. This includes watering the garden, for example, or treating the pool and other normal tasks in a house.
    l'entretien de la maison devient trop lourd pour nous . nous avons besoin d'aide (avec nous ) pour du bricolage, peinture, jardinage petites rénovations. nous sommes bricoleurs on peut vous apprendre mais un peu débordés.
    pour un deuxième volet nous avons besoin de quelqu'un pour garder la maison (et peut etre le chien) en notre absence. cela comporte l'arrosage du jardin par exemple ou le traitement de la piscine et d'autres tâches normales dans une maison.
