I'm baaack! Who needs a friendly, skilled handyman? Get those "Honey Do" jobs done before the summer ends!
Call me (306) 371-8817 :)

Well, it's been officially a little over a year since I started this page. I had to go into sabbatical mode, per se at the end of August last year since I embarked on a three year Instrumentation program in Moose Jaw. *thanks to the geo-physicists job market* I decided to add an extra feather in my hat.

This summer has been busy as I took on a fairly large project. It should be completed well before I return to Moose Jaw. I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable summer.

As for me, I can't complain. The odd splinter and nail scrape just comes with the territory. Cheers!

Resting up today and enjoying my time. Happy Canada Day, Saskatoon!

How did you spend Father's Day? Mine was spent watching the latest Star Wars movie and battling endermen, zombies, skeletons and witches on minecraft, all while munching on homemade chili (à la me) and popcorn - with my two favourite girls.

I've had a few people ask me for a quote on a project that they tell me over the phone. It's difficult to state a quote based on the type of project for the following common sense reasons.

1. I haven't seen the area where the project will be done. There's logistics involved. Logistics often dictates types of materials best used and complexity or simplicity of the tasks involved to stage and complete the project - well.

2. Issues might be encountered that would need additional time and money to solve.
3. I charge by the hour. The above factors would affect how many hours it would take to actually complete a project.

This article gives a good breakdown on the costs for hiring a handyman. It also has suggestions on "obtaining quotes", if you're really set on getting a quote. I'm comfortable with providing *rough* estimates.

FYI: My hourly rate is less than the mentioned prices in the article. :)

Hiring a handyman is a great way to complete home projects, but how much does it cost to hire a handyman? Do handymen have hourly price rates for services?

Done. Done. And done. There'll still be a few minor tweaks but I'm not waiting till then to share .... my new site!

Just got off a call from a 411.ca sales dude. Looks like I'll be listed on their online site for Saskatoon. This is getting serious.

Website Update: Obtaining the .ca rendered issues from the service provider end. It's all resolved now but my *cough cough* webmaster was not a happy camper this morning. I heard her banging away at her laptop and cussing under her breath.

It turned out, she was chatting with tech support. All I know is, I got home and she was all excited. Apparently, she was able to get another domain name (the one she initially suggested but I poo-pooed it. What do I know).

Caller: Do you do caulking?
Moi: Do I do caulking!

In summary:
Yeah. I can caulk.

Contact me for all your caulking needs!
*Can't believe I just said that.*

Update: Just got my "A" endorsement for my Class 1 Drivers License today. You never know when you need to drive a tractor trailer with air brakes. Am I right?
Anyone need a rig jockey?
