His career started in IT, but after falling in to property development Max realised he had a knack for renovating houses – especially London’s unique old homes!<\/p>\n

“I love working on older builds, the details in the woodwork and plaster add so much character. You discover interesting things all the time – from the way woodwork warps as it ages, to hundred year old newspapers under floorboards.”<\/p>\n

“In new builds the floor joists have cutouts for pipes and plumbing but in old builds there isn’t much room and sometimes they’ve cut it very fine. Once I was repairing a joist and the pipe through it just gave way – that was a dramatic day! It’s a puzzle to work out the best way to approach each situation, I enjoy the challenge.”<\/p>\n

\"Max,<\/p>\n

Max’s home repair hack: If you need to touch up a small crack in a tile use nail varnish in a matching colour, then clear varnish over the top.<\/div>\n
\n

An active lifestyle with a lot of variation is part of the appeal of flexible working for Max.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving variety in my day is really important to me, I never actually liked being stuck behind a computer. Making the change from IT to more active, varied work has been really positive and gives me more balance in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Max,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I enjoy the flexibility of Airtasker. I like that I can assess jobs as they come up and decide if they suit my skillset. If I have extra time available I’ll make an offer. It’s great to be able to work around my schedule.”<\/p>\n
