Hello my name is Trey and I am 38 years old seeking to become a successful self employed handman-carpenter but I am very diversified in other skills and trades , although I may not be certified in trades such as welding , plumbing , electrical , and hvac ; It only means I have not taken a test to prove my skill and knowledge of these trades. I am very familiar with all trades that are required for construction jobs. I am truly a jack of all trades and would never say I was a master of all however I am very close . At the Age of 8 my stepfather gave me small task like pulling nails from trim to reuse and teaching me things like bending metal to repair facial boards on houses. Since then I have worked at hospitals and construction jobs and enjoyed them all. I am ready to be handyman for my local neighbors and ready to meet and build good relationships as I build or repair anything that you may need . Please let know what I can do for you and I promise you , you will not be disappointed

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
