About Us
Handy Man
I’m Rob. By day, I’m a computer geek. At night and on the weekends, I'm a handyman.Weekends are my most productive times as a handy man. Laurie maintains a "Honey-Do List" for me that never seems to get any shorter… no matter how many tasks I complete.
In addition to home maintenance, I’m known to build an occasional stick of furniture. Last year, I built a cabinet for our new TV. From time to time, I’ve also been recruited to help Laurie decorate the room we’ve remodeled. And yes, that even includes sewing.
Crafty Woman
I'm Laurie; I work part-time, but I’m mostly an at-home mom to our Handy Boy, who is 10. I love scrapbooking, photography, home decorating and reading.
I’m “the Boss” when it comes to choosing paint colors, but sometimes it goes wrong and we have to re-paint! Before we renovate a room, I talk with Handy Man about what I want it to look like, and we make decisions together about which materials to use. I always have lots of different projects going on at once.
