Building

During my 55 years in the merchant navy I was able to take time off and I worked as an assistant in a number of various building projects in Auckland. 


I was  an active assistant builder/carpenter.  I also have experience in operating a forklift and have in the past held a HD licence.


I completed a extension/renovation on my own property in Molesworth Drive 2yrs ago, I am retired but wish to remain reasonably active. I would still like to use the extensive knowledge and experience within the building trade.
