HONEY-DO HANDYMAN

It went very well thanks to suggestions by Shane and Sam's good work ethic. The cost of replacing the boards (which keep the screens from blowing away) was estimated way too expensive for me. Shane thought that the back side of the boards might look good, and he took one off to see, and it was indeed good. The mission was then to take each board off, clean the back side the seal it, then replace it. Sam's job was to unscrew the deck screws, and remove the boards. My job was to clean and seal the back sides with polyurethane then give them back to Sam to reinstall. We both worked nonstop for 5 1/2 hours. Sam was great, energetic, easy to work with, and understood entirely what need to be done. By me working with Sam the job was completed in 5 1/2 hours instead of maybe 11-14 hours by him alone, and that saved me more than a few bucks. I sent Shane two photos of some of the finished boards in place, as I couldn't upload them here.

I had a number of jobs that had accumulated that were beyond my carpentry skill. Also the dog had a panic attack while home alone and did some damage that had to be repaired. I was very impressed by the care and attention to detail with which each task was done. He didn't do everything at once; he was at the house a number of times for a few hours each. This was fine with me, as I could see he was doing excellent quality work. Several times he had a helper with him. They were friendly and competent.
