The Cape Cod Carpenter

I’ve lost count of the number of cottages I’ve swapped over winter window panes for summer window screens in this past few weeks. A dozen?
But what I’m absolutely sure about is no two had the same installation system 🤣
But glass? It’s broken or it’s not 🤣

Popping in a half dozen window A/C’s
Repairing cabinet draws
Repairing a leaking Washing Machine.
Pouring a small concrete pad for Split System.
Remounting and cleaning gutters,
Hanging window shades

Power washing several cottages
Fixing 2 outdoor shower doors
Hanging string lights over a patio

Roof Moss Removal and Chemical Treatment and Power Washing Fences, Sheds and Lawn furniture has been a hot item on the handyman menu the past few weeks.

Always best to have this done off season, especially in tight neighborhoods.
Neighbors tend to get a little “spicy” with the noise and overspray while barbecuing or working on a tan 🤣

Working my way through Salt Air, Ocean Grove and Dennis Port this week if anyone is interested before I pack up the equipment

I gather I’m the first”human” a lot of the wild life get to meet lol.
They always look at me like, what the hell js that? 🤣

As is typical this time of years the line is starting to buzz with seasonal and rental home owners and operators getting ready for summer chaos.
Best get contractors books soon as it will only get more difficult by the day.
