Ben Ruddle. When I met my husband Ben, he was building and selling swimming pools and hot tubs. A few years later and developed into a general builder and carpenter, which he has now been self employed at for nearly 20 years. He is a very skilled builder, he has restored and renovated many houses, he has carried out house extensions and has consulted and projected managed many homes. He can tile, fit kitchens and bathrooms, plumb, brick lay, roofing work and pretty much anything else you can think of. He is very good at problem solving and loves to develop ideas as he works. He is used to using reclaimed materials and loves a task. He is also great at hard landscaping and can use a digger etc.
Ben grew up on a small holding, where he's parents reared all types of animals, horses, sheep, pigs, turkeys, cows etc. He has fond memories of looking after all the troublesome animals and many stories of escapees, that were caught and brought back to the farm.
Ben loves being outside and enjoying the nature, through fun activities. He's main love is mountain biking. He also loves the ocean and has recently been enjoying paddle boarding. He also loves swimming, hiking and anything adventurous.
He loves a good chat and discussing interesting ideas and concepts. He is very easily liked and is very good at communicating.
Despite he's hands on practical skills, Ben is also very geeky, when it comes to computers and gadgets. He loves a gadget and is interested in new technology. He is also very keen of green energy and the up and coming man made solutions to renewable resources.
Above all else, he is kind and caring and loves to help people out.
