Two hours a week works wonders

Even a Handyman needs to do routine maintenance around the house. I must admit it’s not always on the top of my list after helping clients all day with their projects. However, I do know I want a happy wife and a happy life!

 
So, Joan and I set an “appointment” together for two hours of routine maintenance at our home each weekend. We chose the weekend, even though it is our time to relax, so that after working all day Monday-Friday with clients, I don’t have to return home to fix a leaky faucet or install shelving. And, the best part, two hours of personal work on the weekend still leaves plenty of time for us rest.
 
After all, living here 16 years, we both feel our home needs refreshing.

What has been on our weekend agenda as of late are bathrooms. We have three of them, and two need some updates and minor upgrades. We began last week by removing the second bathroom toilet, baseboards, and the old vinyl flooring. Next week we will be installing new vinyl flooring, cleaned up baseboards, and a low flow, water efficient toilet.

 
This past week, while we located the inventory for that bathroom, we replaced the shower heads, with filters, in both bathrooms. We know the value of showering in filtered water and noticed both showers were in desperate need of upgrades. 
It has been especially helpful to sit down and decide what to do next. We get a great feeling of accomplishment when we check off the ongoing projects on our list.

Maybe you don’t wish to do some of the regular maintenance on your home? Why not let us, The Fix-It Professionals help you with your list?
