Hi there,
my name is Patrick ('76), I’m from Berlin and a member of the Tenerife community since July 2020. However the island is by no means new to me. For about 20 years I've been here twice a year...to visit my parents, show friends around the island or just explore this beautiful spot on my own.
My career is relatively straightforward, after graduating from high school and joining the armed forces. I then training as an energy electronics technician (industrial engineering) with Philip Morris in Berlin. There I worked and completed many further training courses until the end of 2019. Unfortunately, Philip Morris decided to close the location almost completely in January 2020, giving me the chance for a second career.
A few years ago it seemed almost impossible to leave my beloved Berlin, but the city has changed, unfortunately not necessarily for the better if you ask me (but we can talk about that after our work is done ;-)). These changes made my decision to start a new life here on Tenerife easier. I can't really put into words what I'm offering here. Simply said I am a caretaker for everyone and everything. If you want to express it in more detail, the page space here is probably not enough ... but I would like to offer you my individual ideas for your problems. I am not that arrogant that I think I have the perfect solution for everything, but I will try to be as close as possible!
An example of my own apartment: In my kitchen I had too little work space and no table to eat, storage space is almost always a rarity anyways. By building a frame for an electrically height-adjustable desk and a fold-out countertop I solved my problems all at once ... so that even my dad (trained precision mechanic) liked it very much. And I'm always a little afraid of his opinion.
Of course, it doesn't always have to be the biggest and most complicated tasks, I would and will be happy to fix a defective lamp or do other tasks as your "caretaker". As already briefly explained on the first page, I'm looking forward to discuss your concerns on all electrical topics from light to hot water boilers to cell phone reception and satellite problems. But also, everything else on the subject of apartments, houses and gardens. My limits are where there are other trades. For example, I would not offer you to completely plaster or wallpaper your home, replace your water pipes, or install a new turf in your garden. I am happy to take on small jobs in these areas, but I will also tell you if it exceeds my skills or resources.
So now, you should have gotten a first impression of me and what I offer. Do not hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to sit down with you and we will talk about what you are up to.
