house building, a nursing home, a new cemetery, refurbished an existing cemetery
and an old parish hall.
 Travelled to America to complete construction work on an old three-storey house for
a friend and gained invaluable experience in the Building Codes/Regulations in
America.
 Developed a natural reed bed system for waste water at my home and presently
constructing a water wheel to provide electricity , as I have a great interest in heritage
and the environment.
 Have planted 11 acres of forestry and developed a lake on my land and do some
organic farming.

experience and my experience in college. In pursuit of this goal, I have attained a
