I am excited to put together special and functional systems- something unusual that most would not try to do. I enjoy planning a job and figuring out ways to save money and labor.

I am 55, strong and successful. I need a change from the winter weather, but also must be considerate to my wife's needs - so I cannot commit for more then a month at a time . I do not require a big salary, just an opportunity. I would love to train novice electricians to wire condos or houses for example.
