When did you decide working in construction was the thing you wanted to do?

When I was 5 years old, I helped the maintenance person move tools and sketch up the solution for new drainage at our country house, where I had the epiphany of becoming a builder. Since very little, I've been passionate about building with timber blocks, rock and clay, and also enjoy fixing up anything that was broken or malfunctioning around the house... Engineering/building/making was in me always.
