What to do when you’ve had a fire

Handy Father, LLC Posted on December 3, 2018 by Handy FatherDecember 3, 2018
what-to-do-when-you've-had-a-fire

We had a fire.  A total-loss of our in-house worldly possessions.  This happened in May 2018. Until this point, I never knew what to do when you’ve had a fire, but now I’d consider myself an expert on the subject. The morning of the fire was not unlike any other morning.  It was mid-May and we got the kids off … Continue reading →

Handy Father, LLC Posted on June 7, 2016 by Handy FatherJune 7, 2016
remodel an old summer kitchen into a yoga studio

This is the inside of an out-building on my property.  It is native wood construction on a concrete foundation.  It is 20′ from east to west and 16′ from north to south. It was built in approximately 1901 along with the main house on the homestead.  It is the perfect size to do a little yoga studio for my wife. … Continue reading →

Is your table too short? Maybe this is the solution!

Handy Father, LLC Posted on January 12, 2016 by Handy FatherJanuary 12, 2016
My table is too short

So, we have a nice large table in the kitchen, but the table is too short.  As a family, if we are eating at home, we are eating at this table.  The problem is that it’s too short. My wife has had this little table riser project on my to-do list ever since we acquired the table from my parents.  … Continue reading →

How to replace water damaged plaster (Pantry Remodel Part 1)

Handy Father, LLC Posted on June 23, 2015 by Handy FatherJune 23, 2015
how to replace water damaged plaster

As far as I’m concerned, plaster is an antiquated method of interior wall creation. It is very heavy, and I hate it! So when I bought my 1901 farmhouse, I knew the walls were all plaster. I don’t replace plaster with more plaster, but rather I remove old plaster and install drywall.

diy-roofing-in-the-winter

If you’re picking up after reading DIY Roof Replacement Part 1, you know the steps I’ve already taken.  The roof is tar papered with two layers of 15# paper.  On to my 7th step: I went with a standard 3-tab ebony shingle that has a 25 year warranty.  It is as economical as it is beautiful.  I’m using 1 1/4″ … Continue reading →

How to install different lighting

Handy Father, LLC Posted on February 24, 2015 by Handy FatherFebruary 24, 2015
hunter ceiling fan installation

Flip the switch.  The light comes on. Simple, right?  My wife didn’t like the lights in the dining room and the bedroom at our new house.  The dining room light wasn’t big enough, or grand enough for her taste, and I agree.  The bedroom light was a small pendant light, not bright enough to read by, so it too, had … Continue reading →

I was excited to find this Brownie Caramel Cream Root Beer just because it has been so long since the last root beer review.  Usually when a root beer name has … Continue reading →
