I have an education background in Apparel Design & Technology, work experience in Product Development, and an extensive personal history of endless projects.

Did a garbage disposal swap on Monday, follow by a shower valve repair on Tuesday. They had a cracked piece in the valve causing a small leak, which only stopped in a certain position. Sometimes plastic parts fail. Sometimes rubber parts get worn out. Sometimes hard water and mineral deposits can affect function. Sometimes the combination catches up with us. My 10yr old Moen needs a few o-rings replaced and probably fresh silicone grease.

Busted out my moisture meter and endoscope to check on a potential leak. No leaks spotted, but the plaster is probably failing due to poor plaster application, house shifting, and humidity. Upon closer inspection, there were signs of other plaster failure likely to happen in the same bathroom.

Lack of bath vent use was causing some paint peeling in a full bath right above this, so I’ll be working some magic soon in both bathrooms. 👍

Helped the homeowner learn their non- working doorbells were battery operated (at the buttons and at the chime) Luckily I can just return parts and that was a quicker cheaper fix than the worst case scenario I estimated! I don’t need to charge for all the dollars 😉, and gladly like helping others learn about their home. There are so many easy DIYs you can learn and don’t need me for. I’d be happy to help save you some money if you just want to call me for the tricky stuff. ✌️😉🫶

Sometimes one project quadruples in scope, and combines with another. I was originally called out for subfloor issues, a cabinet floor replacement, and several other projects.

When taking up LVP to get better visuals to fix the sub floor, it was discovered there was obviously moldy and wet subfloor under the sink cabinet. Then we figured out there are 3 LAYERS of subfloor ALL WET. Part of the decision to gut pivoted to replacing the sink cabinet rather than replacing the wet base.

Everything wet, moldy, and gross was gutted & replaced with fresh OSB. The new cabinet was put in and all electrical and plumbing reconnected.

The homeowner was moving in this week and glad to not have holes in the floor and a fresh sink cabinet to stick supplies in.

Note to self: permanently leave knee pads in the car. 😫

I’m still working on a larger ceiling project for a sweet little girl who’s almost 3. Her playroom plaster ceiling was starting to sag. It was cracking again where it had been previously patched. A 3’ x 8’ section was sagging about 1 1/2-2” so we swapped it for drywall because it wouldn’t go back into place. I re-secured the remaining ceiling with 2” drywall screws acoss the entire room to prevent future ceiling sagging. Cabinet jacks were my best friend pushing it gently back up.

You can see in a few photo how thick the original ceiling is, and how short the nails are that held it up. Over 80 years, and shifting foundations (like most homes), those aren’t going to hold forever. 1-2 square feet of this old ceiling weighs as much as a 24sq feet of drywall. One chunk falling on this little girl could have been really bad. 😬

I was shopping for a black tie event, just had to share this wild find. I did find a very nice gown. I’m not always covered in drywall and paint! 😉🤪

Sometimes you have to cut corners… when the customer requests it! 😂

A customer bought a new oven, only to realize the previous home owner had their Corain counters scribed to custom fit the old stove. Well that issue prohibited full use of the adjacent dishwasher as well as a new stove that poked out too far with a 1 1/2” gap behind it.

I squared up the cut for a more universal 30” stove fit.

Bonus of the job was getting to pet some absolutely beautiful English Cream Golden retrievers (forgive me of the breed is wrong 🫣)

Did an outdoor paint job down the street from the “mushroom house” in Cincinnati.

The jobsite home recently had its roof replaced along with some decking that needed painted. I removed any remaining loose paint, primed and put on two coats of outdoor enamel paint.

On perk of my job is meeting so many new and interesting people. The person who contacted me is a masseuse, and her partner is a landscaper who I might need to call for some solid advice on my own home. He also had some thoughtful tips on running a small service business.

Side note:
It’s a good idea to regularly check for wood rot developing on all exterior wood on your home. The roof supports had several questionable areas that could use additional attention before any major issues develop. I’ll be sharing some close up shots with the renters to share with their landlord.

Our master bathroom isn’t exactly ‘finished’, but it’s been functional for a little while. 🥳🥳🥳 You can look back at other posts to see where it started.

It all started because of a failing shower pan. Gutted this room all the way down to the damaged floor joists. Removed the drop ceiling bulkhead above the shower. Repaired, replaced, reframed, re-drywalled.

Went with a polished Dolomite in the shower and a matching matte version on the floor. I read that can make tiny bathrooms feel bigger. I might regret white tile on the floor. 🫣 Good thing I can swap it down the road if I hate it. 😂

Went with a while solid surface shower pan because I just wanted something straightforward super sturdy, and easy to clean. Found a beautiful walnut vanity at Lowe’s, and swapped the top for a sintered stone with a bit more pop than our tiles. I used Moen plumbing fixtures throughout.

I created a custom waterfall mosaic feature using mixed metallic tiles so fixtures could be mixed and matched as we please. However I mostly went with a classic brushed nickel. I did the white at the back of the shower niches, but a small part of me wishes I put some metallic in there. I plan to create a recessed shelf off the vanity to carry the tile detail into the other part of the bathroom.

The mitered niche trim turned out well. The vigo frameless shower door was easy to install and works like a dream. It’s has 3/8” glass.

You can see my pitiful attempt at seeing if plants will survive in that room. The goal is to run mature pothos vines off guide wires along the walls or ceiling. That’s a massive 48” x 36” tall medicine cabinet that also creates an effect of making the room feel bigger.

Stay tuned for a recessed shelf, make up mirror, extra recessed cabinet install, and some kinda better plan for towel bars. 🤪🤷🏻‍♀️ My choices might be weird, but they’re for us. This took me WAY too long, so that’s why I’m not a full blown contractor. 😂😉

Went back to The Breathing Room today. Added these cute double brass hooks on a subtle tonal matching board in their Annex studio. No more coats on the floor! 🥳 Hiding the stud screws turned out pretty well. (Still rough setting in the last photo)

I had the opportunity to work at The Breathing Room. It’s an absolutely beautiful Pilates studio in Hyde Park.

I created a new coat rack that matches others in this hall to replace the brown one.

I repaired an older cracked closet door.

In their bathroom the faucet was tightened up, and then the chipped overflow cover, door handled and toilet seat were all replaced.

A few ceiling tiles were replaced in a studio and I painted them a closer match to the uniform soft tan on the ceiling. Sterile white is definitely note the vibe in such a beautiful studio!

I’ll be returning to create another coat rack for their Annex studio and a custom air plant vase installation. Stay tuned! 🪴

We swung by my mom’s house on a day trip to Indianapolis. I re-installed her kitchen door curtain rod that was falling out of the drywall. She adjusts the curtains daily so I put it securely into studs so it’s not going to come loose again with constant use.

This project ended up being kind of a tag team with Paul McMasters of Hive Home Solutions LLC. He’s based in Indianapolis and knocked out a few things for my mom. He patched and touched up this wall for her since I didn’t have time to stay and do the longer parts. He also hung that new light above her table.

Any of my Indy friends & family should give Paul with Hive Home Solutions LLC a call! 317-804-4483.
