About the flatmates

Semi Retirement
------------------------
I am a senior professional gentleman, who lives alone in a 5 bedroom home.

My life is very active with my computer training business, specialising in One on One coaching all over S.E.Queensland. This life style which I love, takes me away from home.
So - my house sharing flatmate must be honest & reliable.

Having lived in this lovely modern high-set architect designed heritage style for 20 years, I now am sharing the comforts with others.

It has 3 bedrooms upstairs, one I use as my study.

2 bedroom Granny Flat Downstairs
--------------------------------------------------
This has been recently renovated suitable for backpackers and workers.
The room available now is upstairs
.
My Family
-------------
My 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren (eldest is 21) live in Brisbane

I am often away on business and am looking for a housemate who has a proven history of honesty and integrity.

Further, a quietly spoken woman is preferred, tidy and house proud.
The housemate must be working and have her own car as our home is 7 minutes from Laidley CBD.

Some facilities downstairs are shared, such as the laundry, and car accommodation.

The housemates in the self contained granny flat live quite independently to those upstairs.
