    Description

    I am a widowed artist woman who lives in the country side, 5 minutes walking from a small village in the Alpujarra in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. I have a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 living room house and 6000 msq land with mainly olive trees. My garden is walled in around the house and I have 1 Dachshund and 1 cat. I need some help with managing my land, some help in the house, some outside paintwork and small jobs, some diy.
    Also to get wood logs in to near the house. Maybe creating a small sitting area with 2 dry stane dyking walls. And a part of my swimming pool needs made water tight.
