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!”

Columbus Bathtub Faucet Installation

Columbus Handyman and Columbus Home Repair: Bathtub Faucet Installation

Hilliard Customer Richard Trimble used to do handyman work after driving a truck for 40 years. But now with a bad knee he hires me and refers me to his old customers. He had me doing some painting, installing a commode and this faucet on the bath. For all that I charged him $180. Those projects took only 5 hours as he was keen on helping me, too.

Window Repair Replace Rotten Wood in Columbus

Arlington Window Work .

This 40 year old Arlington home

had rot around the gable, so I pulled off the damaged wood and repaired it with a new sheet of exterior plywood.  I used poplar instead of pine for the trim for added protection as poplar is a lot harder than pine.  Then I caulked it all up with latex/silicone caulk and then painted it to match.  The smears on the roof are from the previous painter.  Customer was delighted that I did the whole job for slightly over 200 dollars (not including materials) as he knew he wouldn’t have to have his messy painter back.

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.

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.”

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.
