Glass Repair
One of my least favorite jobs due to the risk factor is working with glass! I don’t do it often, but when a window is built a certain way, we can work with it.. And large panes are completely out of the question!!
Roofing
Today we are working on our sixth storm damage job from severe weather that rolled through a couple weeks ago. From downed trees to downed fences to missing shingles… We’ve had a bit of everything!
Sunken Living Room
We started a project today at a home that has a 320 sq ft sunken living room. The concern was injury from flalling because of an unexpected step down that no one expects! We first had to determine the depth we needed to raise the floor and decided to start with 2×4 framing. We laidContinue reading “Sunken Living Room”
Changing out a Ballast

It was a very good thing that the house was vacant at the time, because theContinue reading “Rotted Floor”
Sometimes You Just Have to Get Dirty
A “p” trap is notorious for collecting clumps of waste… This particular one was clogged with carrot skin! Simply knowing how to twist off a couple of fittings could have saved this person a service call.. All you need is a pair of channel locks and a strong stomach! Remember… Being informed can save aContinue reading “Sometimes You Just Have to Get Dirty”
Rotted Floor Repair
We repaired this rotted floor in a house in Fort Worth. Water head started leaking under the toilet where a previous contractor had added flooring without removing the toilet. The toilet not being removed when the new floor was installed acted like a dam and caused the leaking water to run between the original floorContinue reading “Rotted Floor Repair”
Platform for a Storage Shed
Leveled out some concrete blocks and put 4×4 treated beams down. I used 2×3 fence runners spaced one foot apart to support the decking because I used 1/2 inch OSB for the floor I used OSB instead of treated wood because I have it built up well off the ground and plan to install someContinue reading “Platform for a Storage Shed”
