We live in a family property in the countryside.
In the garden, we are renovating the dry stone walls of the terraces using the traditional method and will need to restructure the paths along them. We are clearing the site. We need help with gardening, cleaning the vegetable garden, cleaning the olive and fruit trees, clearing the terraces for fire fighting risks.
In the house we are also renovating the terrace, the facade. We need help with masonry, standing cement walls, repairing stone walls, painting.
