    2. General house cleaning for about 1-2 hours every morning. You will be required to clean 4 small bathrooms and 2 kitchens every morning. It will be your job to make sure the 4 bathrooms and two kitchens stay clean.

    3. Taking 4 large trash cans on wheels to the curb twice a week and then taking them back to the house after they are emptied by the garbage truck

    4. Picking up trash along the front of the property every morning

    5. Picking up trash along the shoreline every morning

    YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DO HARD WORK OUTSIDE ALL DAY IN EXTREME FLORIDA HEAT AND HUMIDITY ! YOU WILL BE GETTING DIRTY AND SWEATY EVERY DAY ! The extremely hot times are from May - September . The high temperatures every day are in the mid to upper 90’s F with extreme humidity which makes it feel over 100F every day. The rest of the year is usually very nice. January and February are the coldest months where it may be down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit on occasion but is usually 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and sometimes up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

    We require a minimum of 25 hrs of work every week. You can chose whatever days you like to work and whatever hours you like. If the agreed upon 25 hours of work each week is met , you will receive $100 to buy groceries each week. $100 is enough to feed most people for a week. You will have a full kitchen to cook the food you buy at the grocery store which is located across the street. Most people either walk or ride a bicycle ( we have bicycles for you to use anytime ) to the grocery store. If you are unable to work the agreed upon 25 hours each week , you will not receive the $100 food allowance that week.

    We have a swimming pool you can cool down in anytime you like. We also have two kayaks and a canoe on the beach that you can use anytime you like to explore the lake. 2 bicycles are available for you to use at any time.

    Myself ( Jason ) and best friend Byron live on the opposite side of the lake. We do not live at the house you will be staying at. Jason also lives in Daytona Beach part of the week (only minutes from the beach!). Only 15 minutes from Disney world and all the Orlando attractions! We are looking for help landscaping the 7 acre Orlando property as well as help with property maintenance and yard work at our Daytona Beach properties. We both love traveling the world and meeting new people. We both have a huge passion for electronic music, partying , and nightlife! If you also have an interest, happy to show you around Orlando during off times. Orlando has a thriving electronic music and party scene. Jason or I may respond to your request depending who has some free time. We did Workaway hosting end of 2021 and beginning of 2022. It was a great experience, unfortunately I didn't realize my account was never listed as inactive so I ended up with a bunch of messages I did not realize I had. Which is why my response rate is low. When we are actively looking for someone, we will respond quickly to your emails. If we are not actively looking for someone, we may not respond to your email.

    The property you will be living on and working on has just been renovated inside and you will have a fully furnished bedroom with shared bath. The very small bedroom has 2 bunk beds. There may be one other workaway or tenants staying in the room with you. The room has a smart television and locking door. The property is direct lake front and has amazing views of downtown Orlando. Looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors and doesn't mind getting dirty in the process. No experience needed just the willing to listen and learn. When not working you are fee to enjoy the lake, happy to take you out on the boat or jet ski. The water stays nice and warm almost all year. Orlando is only 45 minutes away from Daytona Beach ( the world’s most famous beach) !

    Please note that Byron and Jason do not live on the property. We both live across the lake and work at the property almost every day. You will be living with 10 other people who rent rooms month by month. We also have people staying in hostel style bunk beds we rent through AIR BNB. You will be living with many people from around the world and must be able to get along with people from various backgrounds. There are house rules that everyone has agreed to follow:

    - no drugs are allowed on the property
    - you cannot appear to be intoxicated or drunk on the property at any time
    - no parties ( Byron and I do host pool parties once or twice a year at the house which are the only parties we allow )
    - no excessive alcoholic consumption
    - no frequent guests are allowed
    - everyone must respect their roommates and keep noise levels low as to not disturb anyone
    - everyone must clean up after themselves and not leave out dirty dishes
    - no smoking allowed anywhere on the property
    - vaping is allowed outside only

    Learn to appreciate everything nature has to offer. I am a huge palm tree coinsure, and know about almost every landscaping plant that you will encounter in a warm sub tropical climate such as Florida. I am always eager to share my plant knowledge with people who appreciate nature. If you have a desire to learn landscape design, care and nurturing of plants, how to plant palms, or just are curious about the green side of things I will help you with all of these. In addition to my landscape knowledge, I am happy to share travel experiences with you and I work full time as a Real Estate Broker so if you have any real estate related interests I can assist. The lake I live on is also home to many pro wakeboarders who some happen to be my friends so if you want to try your hand at water sports that's an option too.
