To build a two-storey house, to assemble a tractor within a couple of days – such a handyman.

Previously he made a crane for construction of a house and a tractor for work in his garden. When his family wanted to go to the sea for vacations, Mikhail made a minivan and they travelled through the entire Crimea by this vehicle.
