Handyman Services
For 12 years I worked in various trades: Carpentry, concrete, roofing, sheet metal, HVAC, vehicle mechanics, bicycle mechanics, and more! I offer these services to the men and women in my local area as a way of helping out my community, earning a few coins, and to take a break from the bookkeeping! Here are just a few examples of things I’ve built for people. Of course, I also do quite a few home repairs!
August 20th – 23rd 2025
Created a pathway for a woman so she could drive her scooter to her backdoor. I dug down 8 inches into the dirt, tamped it down. I then filled the whole with a 6 inch layer of gravel. After that, a 1 inch layer of sand. Finally, I set down the tiles, used polymeric sand to fill in the gaps between them, bordered the tiles with playground gravel, and re-built the ramp up to the deck. I put in 1×6 boards as a border around the pathway, because her yard was very uneven. We didn’t want the playground gravel spilling out into the yard!
June 2025
I built this shed for a woman so she could park her scooter somewhere dry. The four corner beams are anchored into her driveway. I used some leftover 1×6 boards she had from when she had her fence built to create the siding. The roof is galvanized sheet metal.
Spring 2025
The gardens I installed with my Dad in the backyard. I dug out all the sod, and the two of us built the borders out of garden ties. We then built the greenhouse together.
Winter 2023
I helped a man build a stage for his drumkit in his basement. We sealed up the cracks in the concrete, applied 1 inch styrofoam insulation all the way around. We then built false walls, inserted insulation and sheeted them with plywood. We put insulation in the roof, and sheeted that as well. Then we put together the stage! By the time we were done, you could barely hear the kit being played from upstairs.
Summer 2024
I built some cabinets for a woman. They’re made from 3/4″ Finished Birch, which is a beautiful wood. I then installed them for her.
Spring 2023
A couple benches I put together for a woman. Plenty of storage space inside, and they’re both on wheels! She painted and decorated them herself after I delivered them
