Experienced in many fields of repairs and diagnostics. I have worked as an Automotive Technician. I have worked in the concrete field. I have worked in construction. I have not found anything I can't train myself to do. I have learned in my many years how to do about anything. Some things better than others. I owned my home in Georgia and I let no one do any repairs for me, from roofing to plumbing. I like to learn new trades. I always say there is something new to learn every day no matter how long you have been at your job. I have good organizational skills. I keep a clean work space. I am also big on safety.
