Accommodation required
Hi my name's Nik and I'm looking for accommodation. Not fussy as to where would definitely consider rural, and the cities and towns, central Hawkes Bay etc. I'm a landscaper/gardener, 48, single, non-smoker, quiet and respectful. I work full time and sometimes on the weekends but also do my design work at home so I'll be generally away at work. The house I live in has been sold and I have to find somewhere else to live. I'm open to any solo living situations, sleepout, one/two bedroom, a building (livable!)... I would also be open to a situation where the place needed some work to get it going. I've got lots of skills - interior decorating, basic carpentry etc. Maybe it needs to be cleared cleaned etc. Perhaps this could be part of the bond or something depending on how much work there is. I have money for bond rent in advance etc. While not looking to pay exhorbitant rent I will definitely be able to pay. Cheers
