    Description

    Hello, I have recently taken on a renovation project in Andalusia, Spain and am looking for general help with ground clearing, maintenence and basic DIY. The house has 4 bedrooms with stunning mountain views, several terraces and the house is very homely. I am here with my son currently and family friends visit when they can to help. The village which is a 9 minute drive has everything you could need, the nearest town is 30mins and the coast 1 hour. There is space for a camper should you be travelling that way, it is rural tranquility so a car is needed. I have 3 small dogs thst are very friendly. I need help with ground clearing, landscaping, general maintenance and DIY.

    The immediate area is great for hiking, cycling, road trips. The coast is stunning and 1 hour away, the towns offer bars, nightlife, sites to see, shopping and are 30 minute drive. There is a local gym and swimming pool, restaurants, bakers, butchers and mini markets all in the village.

    I'm a solo lady so would prefer couples or females, I'm quote a private person so I won't be intruding in your personal space and hope that you respect mine. I'm sociable and outgoing but like my own space. My son is 17 and gets on with everyone. Honesty is key if you have any questions then please ask. I hope to do a couple of video chats beforehand to see if we are a good fit for the tasks at hand.
