Help
Firstly I would expect you to work hard on your work hours. I am in need of help gardening , pruning and clearing. Picking almonds and then olives at the beginning of December. Cutting cane and bamboo and using it to finish walls on a wooden construction, help clearing and re-organising shed and tat pile .At the moment I am looking for 2 people to help gather rocks from other parts of the land and dismantle a stone wall and remove chumba cactus roots which has died and is causing the wall to collapse , The wall is part of a drainage channel which directs flood water off the mountain away from my wooden house, This will be hard physical work and I would be looking for 2 people to work on this for 2 weeks.There is also painting and maintenance work and removing aloes from the garden and re-siting on the hillside at the edge of my land as a firebreak and boar deterrent, You would need to work unsupervised on days when Im out at work.
