Not a ton of pictures this time, but trust me, a whole lot got done. šŸ˜…

First up, we replaced all the original faucets in this home. They were dated and ready for retirement. The new single-hole faucets look cleaner, feel more modern, and even improved water pressure. Quick pro tip: if your pressure is weak, check and clean your aerators before blaming the plumbing gods.

Next came fans. Lots of fans. When the homeowner moved in, there were only two in the entire house, and somehow none in the living room or primary bedroom. That’s a Texas emergency. šŸŒž Now the whole home has proper airflow, which should honestly be standard down here, especially once summer hits.

We also handled some electrical work, including breaker replacements. Eaton Gen 2 dual-function breakers (AFCI & GFCI) are known for failing. You can buy new ones, or you can call Eaton directly and get replacements (free of charge) if you’re patient enough to survive the phone hold music.

Last job was a spigot replacement. The old one had failed and the vacuum breaker had seen better days. We replaced everything, including the spigot, insulation, and escutcheon plate, so it’s sealed up, protected, and ready for Texas weather to do its worst.

Bottom line: faucets upgraded, airflow handled, electrical issues addressed, and leaks prevented. One more home ready to take on Texas weather without breaking a sweat. šŸ’Ŗ

Hi everyone! With below-freezing temps, ice, and sleet headed our way, it’s time for the annual Texas winter ritual. Stock up on water, food, toilet paper for the next three years, and maybe say a small prayer over the generator to make sure it’s ready.

One of the simplest (and cheapest) things you can do to protect your home is to put a hose bib cover on your outdoor faucets. And yes, disconnect your hoses. Frozen pipes are not a fun surprise, and they never show up at a convenient time.

Those little covers can be found at any big box store and can save you from an expensive ā€œwell, that escalated quicklyā€ plumbing moment. Stay warm, stay safe, and if winter wins this round, you know who to call.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday and a solid start to the new year. We’ve been busy with family and festivities, but still squeezing in plenty of work along the way. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to. Enjoy!

• Installed a closet shelf with added dowel rods for extra hanging space.
• Replaced another microwave. They really don’t make them like they used to.
• Insulated outdoor spigots. The Texas sun is brutal on escutcheon plates and insulation.
• Made a custom name sign for some clients who are expecting. Big congrats to them.
• Mounted a massive custom shelf for a client’s son. Pretty sure I’ll need his autograph one day.
• Finished a full-perimeter shelf to show off an incredible car collection. This one was fun.

As always, thanks for following along and trusting Handy Andy with your projects.

šŸŽ„ Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays šŸŽ„

If something breaks today, don’t worry, that’s just your house getting into the holiday spirit. Doors squeak, outlets quit, and something always waits until guests arrive.

Enjoy the day, the food, and the chaos. When the decorations come down and the honey-do list comes back up, we’ve got you covered.

As the holidays sneak up on us, everyone’s in full prep mode getting the house guest-ready.

A little before-and-after action for you:

First up, this pedestal sink had seen better days. Since it was already broken, it was the perfect excuse for an upgrade. We swapped it out for something a little fancier with bonus storage. Big fan of this color combo too.

Next, we replaced several window sills in this home. Turns out the pups, in their younger years, preferred sills over chew toys. Good news is the dogs have matured… the sills finally get a break.

Lastly, this ceiling fan was mounted to a standard electrical box, which isn’t rated to hold fan weight (usually elec boxes are only good for 10lbs max). That’s a no-go. We removed the old box and installed a steel brace properly rated to support the fan, so it’s safe, solid, and worry-free.

Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and wonderful holiday season. šŸŽ„

Sharing a couple recent jobs from the week.

First up, this ceiling light fixture. The supports had completely given out (probably due to heat over the years causing the electrical box to crack and break). We pulled the fixture down and swapped everything over to a heavy-duty steel brace so it’s solid for the long run.

Next, shelving. People think shelves are simple, and they mostly are, but the details matter. Use the right hardware. Skip the cheap plastic anchors and either hit studs or use proper toggles so the shelf can actually hold weight. Then grab the laser level and make sure everything lines up clean both ways.

Lastly, a fresh faucet and a new TV mount. The original faucet was spraying everywhere except the sink, so the homeowners went with a similar style that actually listens when you wash your hands. The TV went up nice and clean, and they chose a cord cover to keep the power wire tucked away.

Hope your week’s going smooth.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from Handy Andy!
Hope your day is filled with good food, good company, and zero DIY emergencies.

If your turkey ends up needing ā€œstructural support,ā€ your kitchen drawer suddenly gives up on life, or your in-laws point out that one crooked shelf… don’t worry. I’ve got you covered (after I finish my pie).

Grateful for all of you who trust me with your homes. Enjoy the day, and may all your leftovers fit in the fridge without a fight.

Happy Thanksgiving! šŸ¦ƒšŸ› ļøšŸ

Happy Friday, everyone. Any good weekend plans, or are we all pretending we’re finally going to ā€œcatch up on choresā€?

Here’s a peek at what I’ve been up to:

• The giant canvas of the week. This art was the same size as a sheet of plywood (just a lot prettier and lighter weight). Took some extra time to get it level (measure twice šŸ˜‰), but once it was up, the whole room woke up.

• For the grab bars, we added wrap-around trim so we could mount them exactly where they needed to be. Yes, I did a couple body-weight dips on them. Yes, they passed.

• Framed out a builder-grade mirror and hit it with a matte black finish and a clean chamfer inside. Trickier than I expected, but it turned out slick.

• And then there’s dryer vent cleaning. Not my favorite task, but it’s basically the unsung hero of home safety. Glamorous? No. Important? Absolutely.

Enjoy the weekend, and I hope it treats you better than your laundry pile does.

Some of you may not know, but one of my big passions is woodworking. Though ā€œwoodworkerā€ can mean a lot of things, I really enjoy making smaller pieces, custom signs, coasters, trays, and other personalized projects. There’s something satisfying about getting in the shop, chopping some wood, and watching a plain block turn into something beautiful.

What about you? Got any creative hobbies of your own? Share what you make! Bonus points for pictures! 😃

First up, I installed some updated coach lights at this home as they get ready to list it for sale. Gone are the days when buyers didn’t need impressing (remember those COVID times?). These days, sellers are putting a little extra TLC into their homes to help them shine.
Oh, and don’t forget about my little friend there šŸ¦Ž!

Next, more cabinet hardware! I’ve found that installing hardware is oddly peaceful, it’s therapeutic work, and the finished look always leaves me feeling fulfilled.

Lastly, another dryer vent cleaning. This homeowner almost skipped the service, thinking it wasn’t needed. Their dryer was still working fine…for now…but once a vent starts clogging, it can quickly turn into longer dry times or multiple runs per load. So I’m glad we did perform the cleaning (needed). Staying ahead of it keeps things running smoothly and safely.

Another week, another round of satisfying upgrades!

1: Mounted this TV inside an entertainment center…precise measuring made all the difference. A clean, seamless look that fits just right.

2: Drilled and installed cabinet hardware. Black on white is always a winner. Simple change, big visual impact!

3: Wrapped up with a much-needed dryer vent clean (lint be gone!) and a sleek new gold faucet install. Adds that touch of class and luxury to the bathroom.

Whether it’s precision, style, or function, I’m here to make your home upgrades look easy (even when they’re not šŸ˜‰).
