HANDYMAN 101!

I am routinely amazed by how many tools and items are needed to accomplish various Handyman tasks efficiently and skillfully. I am equally grateful to have accumulated the necessary equipment and knowledge to have the right things on hand for such occasions!

So, the other day, I kept track of everything.

Check out the two screen shots detailing the ridiculous assortment of gear & supplies required to complete this straightforward Handyman list:

- hang (2) long curtain rods for 9' drapes
- hang new TV mount
- install new hidden TV receptacle
- hang (2) small shelves
- hang (4) + (2) pictures
- hang (1) robe hook

Worth noting: a lot of homeowners might tackle such a list, but just as many don't possess the skills, the kit, or the gumption to do so.

We do. 😀

After we tackled the new built-in cabinet/shelves, the homeowner wanted to set off the TV wall in a stone accent to complement their fireplace wall in the adjacent living room.

And so we did!

Behold our latest entry in the "Dramatic Stair Rail Update" category!

Homeowners were eager to modernize the entire rail system, calling for square newell posts, sweet rectangular handrail, metal balusters with basket accents, and gorgeous black paint. The open treads and new entry floor tile (installed right after we finished) required special attention, in particular squaring off the lowest newell.

l'll be back soon to paint the front door to match. 😀👍

Trim repair/refresh? Inside or out, can do. 👍

I work on a lot of exterior trim repair & paint updates, especially at the bottom where water makes contact and caulk wears out: jambs, brick mould, casing, decorative elements, etc.

One of the joys of my work is following a homeowner to their new address with fresh ideas!

I designed this solution to honor the symmetry of the tall windows without crowding the TV opening, with a nod to several practical requests: bench seating, close stain match to the floor, new lighting to replace old surround sound speakers, and tall crown to complement the adjacent kitchen trim.

Props to (1) MZM Custom Doors who built my doors AND laid up the solid maple countertop and shelves, and (2) Sherwin Williams for stellar coverings once again (Emerald Urethane Enamel for the win!)

No way I was gonna pass by this stand without supporting this young entrepreneur. She's on a side street off a side street, so not exactly a busy thoroughfare. Turns out, she lives across from a house getting a new roof today.

Smart girl.

Predictably, no one is drinking her lemonade for free on the hottest day of the season so far. I hope she needs a second mailbox.

Homeowner recently had the kitchen cabinets and walls painted, and asked 121HP to complete the project with new custom subway tile.

Biggest challenge of this project involved demo down to the studs to remove thick, old tile before hanging new sheetrock and tile.

Probably half of my work is straight up Handyman tasking: repair, replace, revise, restore. (Yep, I adore alliteration; and who can resist a good list?!)

So! Alongside the recent glamour shots of cool cabinet builds, here are a few random tasks that might not be overly complicated, but I've come to learn that doesn't necessarily mean they're easy.

Photos below: hot tub b-gone; replacement bathroom vent fan; updated OTR microwave; new door.

Some days I just work on cool projects. Other days cool homeowners feed me great food.

This week I enjoyed both!

Taking five full, busy days from start to finish, this set of built-ins replaces a pair of nice but basic standalone shelf units, greatly improving display and storage space. The counter and shelves are solid maple, which beautifully complements other natural wood tones on display here in the dining room.

I am so blessed when folks invite me to eat with them in their home! This week I had fabulous homemade Italian wedding soup, a fresh fruit & veggie plate, cheeseburger sliders, and chocolate-chip-smore-marshmallow-graham-cracker-ridiculous-sweetness-wonder for dessert.

At least that's what I called it. (See pic below!)
