If i could make a suggestion. Your intros are very long. It's almost 4 minutes of none content. It's not really gripping. Especially with the music, the music choice is kinda "lets go, do do do do do", but you were loading timber into the van and accepting job/driving. Then it was angle finding. Perhaps a different music choice would tell the story better to getting to the job and starting it. Nice finish on the job though.

Agree with everything you said about the role of the handyman.We meet the needs of many householders. If you limit the range of tasks that you carry out to those you can do safely and well, there will always be a customer base for you. Mutual respect is important. If I detect a lack of respect before work has begun, I'll make my excuses and walk away. As for poor quality workmanship and customer service from some of our single trade colleagues .... don't get me started!

@can-be-askedhandymanproper3015 I think he is saying that in the winter when there is ice melted and freezes over you will slip because it's tile and that is the reason for that comment. I also think it is the reason why people use cement instead of tiles because brushed cement gives grip to rubber soles. He probably didn't consider where this house is so environmental factors might be different in the winter. Eg: no snow, less snow, no rain etc.
