Description
I’m Sander, a positive thinker from holland, like to be active and love to help people where I can. A beach holyday to sit and read a book is not my cup of tea, I prefer to be busy and create something or achieve a goal.
I like the outdoors, technics (especially mechanicals) and water activities.
I believe that everybody has their wisdom from life experience and helping each other is important. Workaway is a great platform for that.
Please let me help you and give me an life experience in return. Yes I’m a 'new bee' in the workaway group, and yes I got the feeling I’m older than the average here, but I don’t see that as a problem. And seeing forward to help you out with all kind of work.

More details about your skills
My friends or relatives always call me if they have housings issues like water, electricity or general maintenance problems. And I’m happy when I can help them. My education is in the mechanical technics, and therefore I know how to handle a saw and hold a drill to reform metal and wood in a shape or construction 😉
I don't like to brag my skills, but because people like a list with a few things I'm comfortable with.
- electricity,
-- mainly house hold 115/230v, wiring, installing sockets, plugs, lights, pumps etc
-- 400V no problem
- carpentry
-- basics building from board to project
- steel
-- cutting, drilling, welding
-- milling, turning lathe
-- engineering
-- calculating
- water
-- installing/ fixing lines and fittings
- general maintenance
-- fix things that are broken
It is quite a list, and some skills are better than others, but when I’m not sure about a job/task I'm not ashamed to tell, and we decide on the moment what the best solution is. Also important, I like to learn, so please show me how you do things, so I can copy your skill 😉
