This Trex Golden Honey is a new color this year and it looks really great! Laying down decking really helps to make it feel like the project is moving forward.

A deck project that myself and Signature Handyman are working on together.

Happy holidays everyone— here’s a collaboration with a DIYer client that got in a little over his head. He called me to help him through the tough parts and he sent me this picture of the finished product. The doors were too tall and too wide and the floor is also not level but we were able to make it work and he finished out the trim. And added the holiday cheer. And hopefully drank some eggnog while standing back and admiring his work 🧑‍🎄

Got some apparel from ! I enjoy working with local companies and Bob was great to work with. They did a small batch for me, the quality of product is great (sweat wicking and snag resistant shirts) at a very affordable price. Go get some!

Last week we took a trip to attend the shed industry’s expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This experience acted as a test and I would like to inform everyone that building and selling sheds is a new direction I will be pursuing alongside the remodel/handyman business.

The dream here is to provide a premium product and service for a niche market. I’ve had the thought to try to find a niche within the construction industry and have finally landed on something. The "luxury" shed will be a fully finished, insulated (including the floor), and fully climate controlled backyard space that can be used for an office, video/audio/art studio, exercise room, man cave, she-shed, golf simulator or whatever the client can dream up.

There are lots of details to unpack yet, and I invite you to follow along as I build the prototypes. While we were in Grand Rapids, we were able to meet a lot of the industry leaders and receive teaching and wisdom from some amazing people. Thanks to Shed Geek, Shannon Latham, Susan Frair, Sam Byler and Charles Hutchins for helping to guide this decision and bring us into the fold of this growing industry. I’m looking forward to becoming a part of what almost feels like a big family.

Oh, and I won’t actually be selling any sheds for a while yet… you’ll probably have to wait until spring 2025. Any brilliant ideas for a name?

Removing the soffit and building the cabinets to the new ceiling really opened up the feel of this kitchen!

New light fixtures, white subway tile backsplash and open shelving brought some clean vibrance to this kitchen!

Best thing about shingling a shed roof? Putting on the ridge cap shingles, because you can get off that hot roof!!

Some deck stairs getting pressure washed-- these were so slimy that they were actually slippery and dangerous when wet. Happy to help the homeowner check this one off the list!

If you are thinking about re-staining still this year, a good high pressure power washing is a must-- our expert recommends using one that can deliver about 3000 PSI.
