Description
Hola!

I’m a 36-year-old Aussie with 20 years of experience in construction. I’ve renovated houses and run my own small scaffolding business back home in Australia.

I’ve also hosted heaps of guests through Airbnb, so I’m all about cleanliness and good vibes with people.

Cooking isn’t my strong suit, but I can make a mean bowl of cereal or 2minute noodles 😅.

Currently having a year off to travel around and help others where i can.

Im layed back, easy going, easy to get along with, always keen to get stuck into some projects, learn new things, help out others and meet new people.

Cheers!

WOW! What an amazing workaway, Trent was outstanding. Trent is a very polite, considerate, thoughtful, courteous, talented, and so much fun. He is also a gentleman!! He raises some kind of birds, I think in different locations all over the world..
I sincerely absolutely loved having him here. Trent is a very self-motivated, energetic, hard… read more worker, takes pride in his work and sets high standards for himself.

Trent set his own work schedule which was early a.m. till dark most days. Once finished what he wanted to accomplish, he would build a fire out back and enjoy the evening with music, a beer, and burning old wood I needed to have burnt.

Trent took 10 days off to venture off to Banff for snowboarding and met friends there. Then he returned and got right back to work - after a day of recovery LOL. His next adventure was 4 days in Revelstoke snowboarding!! In Salmon Arm, he enjoyed a fun night at Karaoke and soon met about 10 other people!! The all had a great time playing pool and singing. So fun. Trent loves hip hop and does break-dancing, and was fortunate enough to be in Salmon Arm when a hip hop band was playing, so off he went!!!
He always created a good time for himself and easily makes friends wherever he goes.

Trent tiled a bathroom floor, installed 2 vanities, 2 sinks, and 2 toilets. He also fixed the roof on the garage putting in drain pipes and sealing up holes so the squirrels could not spend winter in there - poor squirrels. He ripped down a ceiling of insulation, replaced it, and put up a vapor barrier. Trent also tended to many other smaller jobs that I was so GRATEFUL to have done, like putting hand rails on the stairs to make it easer , and safer for me to go up and down. He cleaned up the yard, organized scrap wood piles, and did an amazing job on my greenhouse, putting on new plastic, installing shelves, wire for the tomatoes, and boxes to grow the heat-loving veggies. I sincerely cannot list all the things he accomplished. Always self directed, always beautiful work, never complained and always had a big smile!

When Trent left, he said if I was still here next year, he would finish up the 2nd living quarters attached to the garage and come live here for a while.

Trent was here for about 6 weeks, less his amazing adventure times.

Just cannot say enough about how very much I enjoyed having him, and how impressed I was. He never once complained about the meals I made for him - hahaha - he is far from a Chef, can cook up a mean plate of instant noodles, roast weiners over the fire, and pour a bowl of cereal very artistically. OH - and he did a GREAT paint job on a wall in the bathroom he renovated and it only took LESS than an hour, and not 4 hours, hahahahaha

Trent left for Equador, and I believe is in Peru somewhere now. Look forward to meeting again. Thanks so much Trent for your huge, contribution. Missed you the day you left, the place felt so empty. I wish you all the best in life, and that you find happiness and contentment.

I spent roughly 4 weeks at Jackie’s place on and off, and it ended up being exactly what I was looking for.

After several months of traveling, I was ready to slow down a bit, save some money, and get stuck into some hands-on, productive work and this place really delivered!

I worked on a variety of things mainly with a couple bathroom… read more
