What we need help with: General building and outdoor maintenance, any time of the year. Internal plaster repairs and painting (if experienced). Painting outdoor fences and sheds, perhaps helping replace roof tiles on garage (if experienced, this would be a priority request and we could look at a longer stay duration if someone was available to do this). General garden maintenance: planting of vegetables and weeding.
