My First Year In Atlanta

I moved to Atlanta just over a year ago. I like it. I don’t like the mosquitoes, and the bugs, and the humidity and I never thought I’d be living in Georgia or in the south before, but here we are. And I like it. There is a lot going on and lots to do.

In my first year I have learned my way around the city pretty well. From LFP to Snellville, Flowery Branch to Cumming, and East Point to East Lake, I drive to different neighborhoods and areas everyday, depending on where my client lives. That’s how I learn a city. That’s how I did it when I first moved to LA too. I was a caterer then, so I worked all over LA. I learned my way around quickly. Same here, but smaller town, so faster learner.

Starting from zero clients last August, I have built up a new client list of really nice people. They, and new clients, are keeping me booked up five days a week! I had about a week waiting list for the last six months. I have been able to help people in so many ways, which is why I don’t get tired of what I do, because every day is different.

I will post more here as soon as I get some time. You see, if I’m not working on your house, I’m probably working on mine. Or my acting. And the live improve show I’m in Marietta.

So, that’s why I like Atlanta, because the city allows me to make a living, practice my art, meet cool people, and enjoy some cool bars and restaurants.

Transition ramps prevent falls

A fun and challenging job this week. I had to figure out how to make these wood floor transitions work and fit. The 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inch lips between rooms was tripping up my client’s guests. She was tired of day-glo tape on the floor and helping her guests up after they fell. I started by matching the hardwood floor she installed last year. These new transition ramps should be a life saver.
What can I help you with in your house?

New gate build and install

In June 2017 I had a lot of fun building this gate and installing it at my client’s house in Burbank. The old gate had rotted out, and this new taller gate added a lot of privacy and security. We matched the height and style of the neighboring gate to add to the curb appeal.

My client was very happy.
Below are some before and after photos.

This collage shows it all.

This was the old, rotted gate.
