Three Nails Home Improvement

Customer wanted a few things moved. A chandelier that was off center from their table and a ceiling fan that was off center in a room after a remodel. Moving the light was not a problem with the electrical because there was enough wiring to move it to the new location. But the bedroom posed a challenge. Not enough wiring to reach the new location. Plus there was additional wiring in the junction box. Can't conceal it in the ceiling after I move the fan and I didn't want to put a cover over a junction box. So, I hardwired a smoke detector over the old fan location! Now the wiring in the junction box is still accessible.

Wrapped up the deck in the client's garage by staining it. Originally was going to add a wrought iron handrail down the center of the steps. But since lowering the handrail along the perimeter to the proper height, client felt that this negated adding the wrought iron handrail.

Client had a toilet leaking at the base. Probably the wax ring. I pulled the toilet and discovered the wax ring never really made contact with the underside of the toilet. So there was really no seal made. I could put a ring on top of the closet fl**ge to raise its height. Instead, I took a second wax ring and sliced it in half like a bagel, and placed that on top of another wax ring. This is basically the same as buying a thicker wax ring. Checked for leaks and all was good

Scary moment. Somebody kicked in the front door of this house. Fortunately, it was in between tenants and nobody was home. I was asked to come in and make it new again. Build. Repair. Transform.

Couple of small jobs today that hopefully made a big difference for customers. First house: replace a woefully small indoor window sill (stool) with a proper sized one. Second house: recaulk around a tub
