Handyman ~ 43 years

You can call Garvin a very Handyman or Mr. Fix It. Garvin can look at a problem and find a solution. He has many skills. He will tell you if he can't fix it or build it.

We bought this single-wide trailer, turned it into a Community Kitchen, and donated it to Hebraic Roots Aviv Fellowship dot ORG. It features a 10-foot butcher block countertop, stove, ice machine, refrigerator, and freezer, among other things. I love the flooring, vent hood, and the large farmhouse sink that replaced the small two-compartment sink. 

We opted for a French open storage area and pantry. I am going to sew curtains with plastic over them for easy cleaning so that the storage areas are covered but still easily accessible.

Bee Removal ~ 5 years

We try our best to save the bees because they are crucial for everything living on this planet. We inspect the situation and assess what needs to be done to remove the bees. We communicate with the homeowner about the problem. The homeowner is encouraged to view the removal from their vehicle or in person if they have a lawsuit. We remove the hive, honey, and bees the best we can. Robber bees come and clean up, and afterward, the homeowner would call a repair person to repair any damage done by the bees and the removal. Repair Work is NOT INCLUDED in the Bee Removal Estimate. We remove the bees and clean up the situation as best we can. Honey is a messy situation. You never want to exterminate a bee hive in the walls of your home! Dead bees from an extermination will run you out of the house due to the awful smell.
