Additional Information
Recently purchased our first home in Bomaderry, where our family of 4 people and 7 pets enjoy discovering the local people and places. Caring for a teenager with a neuro-divergent disability whilst having a learning disability of my own are the challenges I have faced and can now look for work to supplement my income and provide engagement and the opportunity to utilise my abilities in a productive environment.
I enjoy fixing up our "work in progress" post war home doing many tasks with my family who are handypersons like myself. Mostly I have become adept at sourcing materials in a budget conscious way including salvage, auctions, and pre-loved re-suable items from different options in the marketplace.
