    Description

    My name is Juliette, am dutch, but live in Spain, in the province Castellon. My house lies on a mountain, in the quiet countryside. I am 57 years old, young at heart, not married, no children, just have a big furry group to keep me company. Got 6 dogs myself (all rescue dogs, two of them are blind) plus a foster. All social and sweet. The problem I have is that the earth below my terrace started crumbling down which worries me a lot. Before it was a stone wall. Locals say it's best to rebuild the stone wall but the quote is very high and I just do not have the funds to pay for it. There are plenty of stones on my land but gathering then would be a lot of work, therefore I think it's best to order a truck with stones. I would be happy to help once someone explains how to do it. Maybe it would be possible to put a proper net and plant plants to make it stable. Maybe one of you has ideas. The area is very pretty and I would be happy to show you around. The nearest airport is in Valencia, I would be happy to pick you up. A car is essential but we can use mine. My guest room is cute and comfortable. I can host 2 people as well and social dogs are welcome too. There is 6380 mtr2 fenced land. Daily working hours can be discussed, I am flexible and easy going. Would be so grateful if someone could give a helping hand.
