Columbus Handyman: Hanging a Flat Screen TV

HANGING A FLAT SCREEN TV.  Stephanie has a modeling agency.  After she was burned out in the huge Grandview Ave. fire, she moved to Dublin Ave. where she asked me to help with pictures, shelves & miscellaneous set-up.  She wanted a Flat Screen TV mounted with no dangling wires, so I ran a circuit and outlet into the wall at 6 feet high and then mounted the TV bracket and finally the TV.  Steph uses me at home, too where I’ve hung bicycles in her garage.  She says, “Frank never let me down. He always gets whatever I want done!”

New Arlington customer Amy needed steps from her deck to her children’s trampoline.  The old ones had rotted out.  I used treated lumber, dug out the ground and used stepping stones to hold the weight.  Amy was delighted and thought my $160 bill was very reasonable.  Here she is doing her best Vanna White imitation with her bulldogs ready to try the steps.

A neighbor living in a condo  community called Hidden Lake in Columbus just west of Arlington and Grandview called me to update her circuit breaker panel.  I partner with a licensed electrician and we were able to replace this particular 100 amp box with a Cutter-Hammer 100 amp panel.  The job took all morning and cost approximately $700 including the new breaker box.  We celebrated by having free brats at the wholesale electrical store!

The owner of the Condo was delighted to have the work done so quickly.  Another happy Columbus home repair customer.

ANOTHER HAPPY ARLINGTON CUSTOMER

I received an emergency plumbing call in Arlington near the Hilliard border. The water tank was leaking. Here is a picture of the happy homeowner with the new pipes I installed. I was able to repair the leak with materials I had on the truck. She was overjoyed that we caught and repaired the leak before there was any damage and happily paid me considerably more than I billed her for because as she says, “I was so kind as to come on such short notice.”

ANOTHER HAPPY ARLINGTON

CUSTOMER

Arlington condo resident Judy needed her electricity outlet moved because her brother was about to install a new vanity. She was pleased that I could do it for $75. The project took two hours and I upgraded the outlet and put a new GFI (ground fault interrupter) to comply with electrical codes.

Installing a Door in Hilliard / Arlington

This 94 year old customer named Kitty wanted better access to her  closet much of which was behind a wall.  I needed to remove an electrical  outlet/receptacle  and then cut a hole in the wall to install a doorway. I was able to use the molding I removed for the stoop and borrowed molding from inside another closet to create a completely matching look.  I then painted the door white and asked Kitty to pose for me, saying, “Do your best Vanna White imitation.”  She was extremely happy and tipped me $25 which amazed her son who had never seen her so generous.

BASEMENT REMODEL IN ARLINGTON, COLUMBUS

Here I am measuring for some drywall that we put up in a Upper Arlington customers basement.  The Basement measured 75 linear feet. It took my partner and I four days to complete the job and it cost approximately sixteen hundred dollars including materials. When I do big jobs like this, I partner with a drywall expert because it enables me to do the job in a fraction of the time if I just did it myself.  Arlington basements are all different and have many different challenges to resolve to lead a beautiful finished look.

Screening a Back Porch in Arlington

I received a call to screen in a Back Porch in Upper Arlington, Columbus.  The posts were already there holding up the porch.  I added the new screens and the cedar siding to hold the new screen tightly. The project took me two days and cost $500 labor.  The homeowner picked up the materials.

Building a Fence in Delaware

Building a Redwood Fence near Delaware. This fence ran 50 yards and had 1 post every 8 feet. The previous fence had blown over, so homeowner Mike elected to make it higher and stronger. I dug out the posts and cemented them in. The smaller light colored part is a gate made from the older fence and cleverly disquised so you don’t even know it is there.
