Hello: We have a 100 year old Victorian in the heart of small town Lewes Delaware. We are seeking somebody who might be in a position to get away and (if they want) live and work in this bright and cheery old house 9in need of TLC) for @ 4-8 weeks. We'll pay fair wages plus material costs.
The person(s) need to be honest and skilled in the agreed upon projects (no Bozos). I'll list our priorities of work below: Who knows, perhaps you want to get away for the spring/summer and it's a very nice cordial small town, 3/4 mile from the shore, national seaside park. We can work out the particulars and a contract if you are interested. Thank you! Mark
