For 10 years after that he worked with TAA as a toolmaker. At first after his marriage he lived for 10 years in Seddon and then built a new house at 6 Crowley Crt, Pascoe Vale. His father also shifted to Pascoe Vale and lived at the end of his street. Perc was also a freemason like his dad and became lodge master at his lodge. Perc had two daughters and then a son. Perc was very handy in building and assisted his son and wife build their kit home in Romsey. He also built cabnitery for the house . Some of this was built in but one very large wall unit resides at his sons place in Vinnicombes Rd, Romsey. Perc was a lovely man and would do anything to help people. He was extremely well liked by all his neighbours, particularly the Seymours who had sons about the same age as his son. His grandson, Nathan, got cancer a month before Perc died and it was Nathans biggest regret that his Pa hadn't seen him get better. He was very happy when his son had three boys- to carry on the McMinn name.
