Description
Climbing the mountain and sailing the river, I spend my days in the company of mother nature. In winter I pick mushrooms, in spring I sit admiring the flowers, in summer I dry fruits, in autumn I sow acorns.

I recently started rebuilding a house that I inherited from my grandparents not far from the mountain house where I live, I discovered that unlike my little mountain house that I built alone, in this grandparents' house I will need one, or two, extra pairs of hands.

Open to welcome, share the abundance of nature and the garden and pay fairly, in exchange for some help with reconstruction. I'm happy to share my knowledge of stone and earth construction, creativity in recovering used construction materials
