Brownsville,OR

Summary

I have many years of experience in building materials and building as I have done all my own work my whole adult life. I am a fun person and easy to get along with. In 2024 I had heart failure and had open heart surgery with a valve being replaced and 3 bypasses. I am fine and cleared to do whatever i feel is my limits so there is nothing i have not gone back to doing, I am looking for a job that would give me a little less stress but still be enjoyable. Again, I have no restrictions from my doctors other than pacing myself as i used to be an all out person, but i still give 100 plus percent.
