From this point on, I entered a total and profound crisis, with several events that changed my life and activity. Listing some that seem relevant to me, even to understand the environment in which I live.
It all starts with an accident, during the transport of part of the Monumento Árvore dos Abraços in Oliveira do Hospital, which results in a loss of around €65,000, which despite the transporter's judgment, he did not pay.
Having been called by the President of the Municipality of Oliveira de Frades and later by the interim president, to carry out some works, after the change of presidency, in elections, the new president, upon taking office, decided not to accept the commissioned work, in inappropriate terms.
Today Luis Vasconcelos is answering in court for several crimes committed while president of the municipality.

On April 25th, installed in 2005. The president tried to say what was said by what was not said, and took a while to accept the truth, inviting me to be present at a Chamber meeting. After all, the land had a great history, a good police case,
It was proposed to me to carry out an assessment of the land for subsequent payment. Despite several steps taken with the new executive, it was never paid.
This whole situation pushed me into a complicated situation, entering into an insolvency process, leaving me without a home or work space.
