The Pickle Handyman

Pictures of a master bathroom project where I replaced the tub, painted the cabinets, casted my own concrete countertops, made a custom shower pan and installed the tile.

Shiplap anyone??? A few more before and after pictures of a recent home improvement project in which formal living room was painted, LVP flooring and shiplap installed. I made two end-tables and stained them to keep with the modern farmhouse theme.

The Pickle Handyman helped out a few family members by welding brackets to a mirror which assisted with mounting in the renovated master bathroom. A ceiling fan was installed, TVs mounted in the family room & office and assembled the desk.

A few summers ago, I replaced the 1,300 sq' of wrap-around patio at the Pine, AZ cabin by installing composite decking, aluminum railing and stainless steel cabling. All trusts were treated with creosote wood preserver and a strip of tarpaper added on top to help prevent wood rot. The patio should last a long time again the elements.....

Green grass anyone?? Over the winter, I removed the natural grass and added artificial turf. After removing the old sod, I applied pre-emergence, then compacted DG, installed a nailer board around the edges, which then allowed me to nail and staple the new turf down. After applying 1,000 #'s of sand we are now ready for any monsoons......

In our Pine, AZ cabin I enlarged the shower, laying new tile, moved the rainforest shower head to the traditional location and replaced the shower valve.

I recently updated our Queen Creek by installing the Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)flooring, painted every room from floor to ceiling and redesigned the family room's TV console. I made a custom hidden fold-down AV component in the mantel; pretty cool.

Posting some before and after work of our Power Room where I made the sink’s vanity, installed the shiplap style wall covering, changed out the light fixture and installed the sink & plumbing
