Handy Man
Hi there, my name is Karl and I'm as handy as I am honest, decent and respectful.
I have just returned from the UK and I'm currently awaiting a placement on a permaculture farm in Wanganui.
In the meantime I need to get by so I thought I'd post an advertisement on neighbourly.
I'm an experienced Tiler + I have worked several types of construction and landscaping jobs, I'm competent and efficient in painting & decorating, gardening, home maintenance and all things 'hands-on'.
I will be available for the next couple of months until I pursue my next phase of training and occupation on a more earth friendly and sustainable path.
Obviously I could just get a temporary job but I feel that there's more meaning and purpose in being useful in my community using the skills I have to help other people - it also means that I don't have to contribute to any parts of industries that I feel aren't in line with a sustainable future for us all.
Get in touch if there's a job you just don't want to do, I'll take on most types of home maintenance and general renovation jobs - even if you just some help with something, I'd love to get involved.
Take care, speak soon, Karl
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
