    Description

    Hi, l moved here 2 yrs ago.
    This was a house that had better days.
    There are 3 houses on the property. 2 are small casitas and the other is the main house. The main house has 6 bedrooms.
    In the main house Bill lives downstairs and in the other bedroom my daughter Jen and her partner Monse, upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, one is a pool/family room, an empty bedroom, Victor is our caretaker and another room for guests or family members.
    I live in one of the casitas which is still being fixed. We are also fixing up the other casita as a studio and we need help.
    I would like someone who can help me with gardening, a beginning garden , painting or building, or mechanic, l have a couple cars that need help. We have a medley of animals.
    The city is close by and l am in a small town. Guadalajara has lots of places to see, Chapultepec a street for the nightlife, Tlaquepaque, beautiful art and pottery. Zapotlanejo which is 5 min away is a woman's shopping dream. There is also Lake Chapala all within a half hr drive away.
    I'd also like to learn Italian
