For Hire - Honey-do's Done!

A man who uses his hands is a laborer. One who uses his hands and mind is a craftsman. He who uses his hands, and his mind, and his heart is an artist.

I do some odd jobs on the side. Over the past 20 plus years I have been involved in automotive maintenance, swimming pool repair, remodeling and maintenance, facility maintenance, HVAC (I am currently studying for my certification), electrical (I currently hold a Texas State Journeyman's License), painting, pressure washing, plumbing, tile work and several other handy skills. I'm an environmentally conscious and green living sorta guy so I tend to do things with that mind set driving my decisions.

I'm also a family man with a sense of fair play. I like to go to bed at night with a clear conscious that I've done my honest best job for a fair price. I like to deal fairly and be dealt with fairly. I say this because I know most people out there feel the same and are tired of being ripped off or sold a bill of goods that they may or may not need in the name of profit. I know how it is to try to make ends meet while supporting a family and I try my best to do the best job for the best price I can offer.

Open source

I'm a huge fan of all things Open Source, from the Ubuntu Linux OS I use to run my computer to the Firefox web browser I use to surf the net to the Bluefish and Quanta Plus web authoring systems I use to work on my websites. For low cost (usually no cost), high security, and NO VENDOR LOCK IN Open Source software is the best.

Lightning Strikes!

What's this all about you might ask? Well, it's a rather long story actually. I've been working in general facility maintenance and automotive maintenance for over 20 years and I decided to start doing odd jobs and honey-dos for people on the side to supplement my income. It started out as a word of mouth thing and kind of grew from there.

I do all sorts of things really, painting, household repairs, cleanup, haul things away, pressure washing, tile work, some minor auto repairs and maintenance, swimming pool repairs and maintenance. If you have something you need done just get in touch and we'll talk about it. If our schedules permit and we can agree on a price I'm happy to help!
