Help me with some renovations to my place in Sicily, Italy

Details

  Description

  I'm Antonella and I live in Modica, one of the baroque cities of south-eastern Sicily. I have a house in the new part of the city, which my parents left me. I live alone on the ground floor, and I would like to start arranging the rest of the house to rent it. The most urgent intervention is the insulation of the terrace. In this period I need a hand to empty an attic. Subsequently it will be necessary to restore the plaster in the ceilings. There is a small vegetable garden with citrus trees that I would like to arrange for the summer. There is a small creative workshop, sewing, weaving, painting. Collaborations are welcome! My house is a 20-minute walk from the historic center of Modica, and a 15-minute drive from the beaches of Sampieri and Marina di Modica. You can stay at home. I am not a vegetarian, I like to eat healthy and natural as much as possible, and I love the sins of the throat when I feel like it. I am available to make you a tourist guide!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I like cooking and I will try to make you taste some typical Sicilian dishes, even if I love a natural and simple cooking. When I get some fruit (besides my citrus fruit) I make some jams. I also deal with weaving, sewing and other creative activities. We can work half a day and then go to the beach or eat a granita with brioche in the center. I do not speak English well (school level) but I would like to learn some language. I can teach Italian.
