  Description

  Hey! We are a family from England and Catalunya (Spain) with 2 daughters ( Joia 12 and Ixchel 16). We love alternative education, gardening, herbal medicine, languages and music. We speak English, French, Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese. We live in a beautiful area, still quite wild, near the ocean. It's an amazing place for surfing, walks at the beach and nature, cycling, etc
  The house is very comfortable, lots of light and splendid views to the natural park.
  
  Right now we need help with the walls of the house. The exterior walls are old and the existing render has deteriorated over time. Before painting, the walls should be re-rendered using reinforcing mesh and a cement-based render to strengthen the surface, prevent cracking, and provide a suitable finish for painting. We don't know how to do so we need someone that can teach us.
  
  If you are interested in that and you have some knolewdge it woule be amazing to have you here!!. You could have your own room and bathroom with lots of light and privacy. We dont need to do all the walls, any wall done is better than nothing!!
  We are looking for someone a bit independent, that likes the area, can drive or do things on their own, there are many amazing beaches around and little tows to visit. We are not at home all the time because we also work at the school 3 days a week.
  I hope that is what you are looking for and we can met very soon!!!!
  All the best,
  
  Joana and Derwent

  We would like to make the garden look a bit nicer, weeding, planting some trees, painting the outside of the house and making a patio area with a wall to shelter from the wind.
