One of the best parts about working at so many homes is seeing how everyone decorates. I have stolen an amazing idea for some art my kids made for my wife and I saw this the other day in the clients bathroom.... A picture of their three dogs taking a crap. Made me laugh and enjoy what I do even more.

This was a really fun job to help design and make. The clients wanted to spruce up their basement TV room with a fireplace and shiplap. A few designs later we came to a decision and started demo. Removing the two center cabinets and the incredibly heavy marble allowed me to make the custom fireplace cabinet. The walnut butcher block was cut to size in the garage then bolted together downstairs. AV cables were ran through the wall with a new outlet installed behind the fireplace. The shiplap went in beautifully then caulked and painted. Then we used the excess butchers block and made some matching shelving. The clients were able to secure some extra matching cabinet material that I used to surround the fireplace with so everything blends together. Super happy with the results!

A quick back story about this picture...

A boss of mine 10 years ago told me to use this to answer any question I had on anything in life. It took a while, but it completely changed my outlook on life.

Both of my boys (6 and 10), my wife and myself wrote one of those words in their own distinct style, size and angle so I always have them telling me this if I ever have a question on what to do.

But, what is the "right" thing?

That's the fun and difficult part about the question. It might be quick or enjoyable... But it may be hard, exhausting and painful. Sometimes doing the right thing for a problem one time might be different from the next time you encounter it. Doing the right thing means admitting your mistakes and learning from them, standing up for other people, keeping your mental health as good as possible as well as helping others with theirs. Laughing at myself and trying to show people that there is more to life than working your nails to the bone in order to make millions of dollars.... But never seeing your kids and family in return.

So... Enjoy your life, laugh at yourself, don't shy away from a task because you're afraid you might make a mistake, slow down, learn (and teach) as much as you can, love your family, and do the right thing.

If you're looking to get a job done... Always get a few quotes. If those quotes seem crazy expensive... Get a few more. I had a client a few weeks back reach out to me about installing a 60" in-wall electric fireplace. The quotes he was receiving were ranging from $1200 to $2000 with a week long job time. He sent me the data sheet and a picture of where he wanted it. I gave him a quick estimate of 2-3 hours for measuring, cutting out the drywall and studs (non load bearing wall) where needed, reinforcing the cut out with correct bracing and a hard wire electrical box for the fireplace. He called me immediately wanting to know if I was joking because of the difference in price from the other quotes. I assured him that the quote would be very close as long as there were no surprises in the wall. A few days later I set aside a few hours and got it done in 2.5 hours. He couldn't be happier with the results and the price.

TLDR: If something seems unreasonably expensive... It probably is.

Unexpected things like this confirm the reason why I run this gig the way I do. Of course the gift card for a date night with my wife is an amazing gesture, but the reason behind receiving it makes it better. Thank you Cory and Becca!

Had a call from a regular client to remove a pretty sweet catio installed on the outside of one of her rental properties. Easy enough. Once it was removed I saw that whoever decided to build it removed the downspout for the gutter/run out away from the house. I reinstalled a quick downspout and runout downhill eight feet away from the house to stop this from getting worse till the weather gets better and we can dig more into this. I used barely any pressure with a pretty dull knife to push through everything about 4" above ground. This is why proper draining is so important... This simple job just turned into a potential nightmare.

I have been called a "buzz kill" by four different friends and clients since I posted the liquor cabinet job. Trust me people... I had a battle with my internal teenager accepting the job.

When you're a liquor rep and have a TON of expensive whiskey and bourbon AND some teenage kids that are starting to get experimental ideas.... Some simple but effective locks will hopefully keep them honest. Most enjoyable part about this job was looking through the collection and asking about many of them.

Even if you think your HVAC filter is fine... Check it at least every 6 months. It's usually VERY easy to check and replace. The more clogged it is, the less efficient the system will heat/cool. When it's this bad.... It doesn't do much of anything besides waste a ton of money.

Getting a card like this always makes my day and reaffirms one of the reasons I do what I do... Doing the right thing. 4 out of 5 jobs I do, the client says I need to charge more. This isn't a full time job for me... This is something I do to take up time when I'm not busy with my main job. I see people get absolutely ripped off for jobs that should've cost at most $20. I saved a client $700 (from a large corporation) by simply doing the right thing for them and being honest... I turned a single adjustment screw 1/4 turn. Remember folks... If it seems like you're getting taken advantage of... You probably are.

My motto is simple... "Do the right thing."

Houses built in 1902 have had a lot of people work on them over the years and with the old wiring they can easily become a "fun" thing to deal with. Hot neutrals, hot neutrals wired into standard neutrals, hot grounds, stranded copper wire tied into aluminum solid wire and a few other problems all needed to be found and resolved to make this place a safe home for the occupants. Please... if you don't know what you are doing with electrical... pay someone to do it.
