Before & After

A faucet on an off-white vanity. It has swoopy, organic curves in a brushed nickel finish. A seam near the end indicates that the business end can be detached. The stopper is missing.
A simple faucet on an off white vanity. The finish is brushed nickel and the forms are restrained. A full-size stopper sits in the drain of the sink.
New Bathroom Faucet

The original faucet had lots of practical features, but it leaked. It also no longer matched the faucet on the other sink in the double vanity. That faucet had already been replaced because it was dripping. 

 

The customer wanted me to replace it with a simpler style that appears to be less prone to leaking. It's a Pfister Ladera in brushed nickel. Some times less is more.

Hole in Skirting

There was a critter-sized hole in the skirting of this mobile home. We filled it with expanding foam and painted it to blend in. 

 

This hole was a good candidate for expanding foam because of the complex shape. 

 

We're going to paint the entire skirting at a later date, so the color was chosen to blend in, rather than be an exact match. Before we paint, the homeowner will source matching skirting panels for all panels that need to be replaced, including this one.

Cat Ladder

The homeowner's cats wanted to get up on top of this built-in cabinet. The substrate is fake wood panelling attached to a 2 by 2 frame. It's challenging to get anything to stay up, unless it's anchored to the frame. 

 

We prepared the area by removing the bottom shelf and filling in the holes after the cat steps that had failed. Then we painted it the same color as the walls. 

 

Next a frame was built out of whitewashed 2 by 2 furring strips and attached it to the frame inside the wall. Then we created seven rungs. The rungs were covered with carpet and had mounting brackets installed. 

 

Finally we installed the rungs.

Hemming Curtains

These curtains were collecting dust and dirt from the floor in front of the patio doors.

 

We hemmed them so they are just above the floor. Interior designers call it "kissing the floor." 

 

The hemmed curtains look tidier and don't get dirty. It's also much easier to clean the floor.

An orange tree, a White House and a Direct TV satellite dish are also now visible. It looks as if the metal shed has been marred by the yucca.
Yucca Removal

Yucca can be invasive in the San Francisco Bay Area. This stand was clearly out of hand. 

 

We removed it and treated the stumps. The home owner can now access all sides of their shed.

 

For now we continue to monitor the stumps for any signs of life. Once fire season is over, we'll have somebody else come in and grind down the stumps.

 

All The Colors Handyman don't offer services that involve gas-powered equipment for liability reasons. 

Still from vertical video showing a very wide window. A step ladder stands on the carpet in front of the window. A blind with wide slats hangs from the top of the window. The ends of it are sagging. It looks very heavy. Some fabric and a cordless drill rest on the wide window sill.
Still from vertical video showing a very wide window. The window is completely covered by a beige set of curtains. The curtains hang from grommets on a curtain rod. They hang down to about an inch off the floor. It would be easy to vacuum the floor without needing to move the curtains.
Hanging Blackout Curtains

The blinds in this over-sized window were so heavy that lowering or raising them was a two-person job. To protect from the summer sun, we hung blackout curtains. They're easy to open and close and lower summertime energy consumption. 

 

Three brackets were required or the curtain rod would have sagged in the middle. We secured all three into studs. The curtain rods were double with a sheer curtain on the inner rod.
