Available for yard work, gardening, pressure washing, hauling, etc

Submitted By: padraic@xyyd.org – Click to email about this post
I am once again announcing to the bbq that I am available to do miscellaneous outdoor work at your place in the Nehalem/Manzanita/Wheeler area and beyond.
I have been doing all kinds of yard work (weed whacking, gardening, wood-chopping, etc) as well as hauling yard debris and garbage to the dump in my small pickup. I have a weed eater, a chainsaw, and I recently got my pressure washer fixed (I have experience washing the cedar siding of my own home). It has been going well – I am an artistically-minded person and I enjoy being able to help people aesthetically enhance their environment to feel better about their homes (pointless and disgusting work is ok too, though). I have many references from local home owners as well as some local businesses that I have worked for as well, if that is a concern.
I’m open to other odd jobs as well.
$30/hour. Text or call Patrick 503-488-0587

Thanks!

Weed Removal Needed

Submitted By: kstarr@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
I have discovered some Hogweed in my side yard and I need some help getting rid of it. I understand that it can burn your skin, the sun can increase side effects and that it can even blind you. It usually grows alongside roads, in ditches and damp areas so I have no idea how it got into my yard which is dry and under evergreens. Seven Dees folks tell me it needs to be burned. Can we talk price please.
Thank you.

Rental needed

Submitted By: beachie47@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
My friend and longtime gardening partner will soon be in need of a new home. She’s a single woman in her seventies whose needs are simple. She prefers a small one-bedroom cottage in the country if possible. She needs to be in commuting distance of Cannon Beach. She is not on social media so I am posting this for her. If you know of anything at all, could you please let me know? We’d be immensely grateful. Blessings!

Car Camping Driveway Wanted

Submitted By: hire_sam@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Manzanita to Garibaldi area friends.
I am looking for a driveway or place to car camp in your area.

I’m SAM, and I live in Long Beach, WA. I’m traveling to Wheeler each Monday/Tuesday from June through November for medical appointments. I’ve been car camping at local campgrounds which are often noisy: (Kelly’s Marina, Barview & Nehalem Bay State Park).
With gas & campground fees, it’s been a lot. I am looking for a driveway or safe place to car camp. Willing to pay $20 each week to park on your flat, level property.

If this sounds like something you can help with, I’d appreciate your assistance. You can email me at:
hire_sam@yahoo.com

Thanks for your consideration.

ISO furnished 2-bedroom home (Astoria – Rockaway) beginning June 16

Submitted By: Tylersimpson295@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi there!

I’m Tyler, a lead marine wildlife interpreter, educator, and environmentalist working (mostly remotely) in Canon beach. I have been fortunate to have spent several years working remotely + volunteering abroad, living in more than ten countries to date. I am currently residing in Seaside, but the three-month lease will be up come June 16. So, I am searching for housing. In addition to myself, my friend, Cori, would be joining me. She lead a team of pharmacists (via remote work) in terms of occupation.

If you have a property available to rent between Astoria and Rockaway I’d love to chat! We are looking to move into somewhere June 16 of this year. We are open to a 1-6 month lease depending on location (amongst other factors such as avaialbility and price). We will both be working from the coast until the beginning of 2025.

We are looking for a furnished two-bedroom property with strong wifi as we both will be working remotely. Our budget is between $1,800 – 2,900 depending on the location and amenities. Utilities included would be ideal (similar to the function of Furnished Finder, the platform for Travel nurses of which Cori introduced me to last year).

We have a number of fantastic long-stay reviews on AirBnB, as well as two positive reviews here on Furnished Finder. My current landlord (in Seaside) expressed willingness on also attesting, as have my colleagues within Cannon Beach city-hall. As an environmentalist, I can assure you that we aim to utilize as little energy as possible during our stay. We are also usually gone during the weekends on hiking trips, saving costs of energy even further. Cori will be traveling with her cat of which is most positively behaved (and fixed + declawed). Both Cori and I are beyond clean individuals, so we can assure that the property will look the same upon our departure as it did our arrival. As an environmentalist scientist, I can also assure that we do everything to minimize power usage.

We are willing to place a refundable deposit (including pet deposit) as soon as possible depending on the length of stay that you are comfortable with.

All the best,

Tyler W. Simpson
