The Handyman Pros Radio Show has been a supporter of decreasing the trades gap.   There's a massive shortage of qualified tradespeople. From truck drivers to phlebotomists, the U.S. faces a massive skills gap in the blue-collar jobs that make our economy function.  

 

Classet was founded to improve the massive skills gap and the challenge to find true upward mobility in the blue collar space. We believe everyone should have access to a quality, economically sustainable, and rewarding career. We want to help make that a reality.

 An Interview was born.

 

What is the trade skills gap?

The trade skills gap, also known as the skills gap in the trades or vocational skills gap, refers to a significant disparity between the skills and qualifications that job seekers possess and the skills that employers in various trade or vocational industries require. This gap arises when there are not enough individuals with the necessary skills and training to fill job openings in trades-related professions. These professions often include skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, welders, HVAC technicians, and other technical or vocational roles.

Key features of the trade skills gap include:

To address the trade skills gap, various initiatives are often put in place. These can include vocational training programs, apprenticeships, education and industry partnerships, and efforts to attract and retain workers in trade-related careers. Encouraging individuals to pursue careers in the trades and providing them with the necessary training and support is essential for bridging the skills gap and ensuring a skilled workforce in these important sectors.

Thanks for listening to another edition of the Handyman  Pros Radio Show.  Our Goal: To Help you save time, money, and aggravation on your home maintenance and repair.

 

I was in a big box store looking to replace my well worn zip strip drain cleaning tool, I came upon a new tool that will replace my zip tool.  Not a day later, John was doing the same thing and I turned him onto the same tool (we will show it in a bit).  We decided to do a show on maintaining functionality as a handyman with fewer tools is possible by maximizing the utility of the tools you have, improving your skills, and being resourceful.

Here are some tips:

Master Basic Skills: Develop your skills in carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, and other essential trades. Being proficient in basic skills allows you to tackle a variety of tasks with minimal tools.

Plan and Prioritize: Before starting a project, plan it thoroughly. Identify the tools you'll need and organize your work area. This helps avoid unnecessary trips back and forth for tools.

Improvisation: Learn to improvise with the tools you have. For example, if you don't have a specific tool for a job, try to adapt a tool you do have or create a makeshift solution.

Continue Learning: Stay updated on new techniques and tools in your field. Learning innovative methods can help you accomplish tasks more efficiently with fewer tools.

Specific Tools: 

Miter saw

Circular Saw

Versatile tools: allows you to improvise

Cordless Drill, drilling, driving, cleaning (brushes), grinding, polishing, etc.

Oscillating tool

4” Grinder

Replacement tools

Replacement of bigger tools: Snake

Caulk gun as a clamp

Multipurpose materials: caulk, screws, nails, PVC trim strips

Remember that skill and knowledge are just as important as the number of tools you have. With resourcefulness and creativity, you can provide quality handyman services even with a limited tool collection.

Addressing the items that annoy you first (your “Bug List”) in home maintenance is important for several reasons:

1.           Improved Quality of Life: Annoying issues, even if minor, can significantly impact your daily comfort and satisfaction. Fixing these problems can lead to a more pleasant and stress-free living environment.

2.           Increased Motivation: Tackling and resolving small, annoying issues can create a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to take on more significant maintenance tasks. It sets a positive momentum for ongoing home upkeep.

3.           Prevention of Larger Problems: Annoying issues often indicate underlying problems that could escalate if ignored. Addressing them early can prevent more severe and costly repairs down the line.

4.           Enhanced Home Value: Regularly addressing and fixing minor issues helps maintain the overall condition of your home, which can preserve or even increase its market value. Potential buyers are more likely to be interested in a well-maintained property.

5.           Safety and Health: Some annoying issues might pose safety or health risks. For example, a leaky faucet might lead to mold growth, or a loose handrail could cause falls. Promptly addressing these problems ensures a safer living environment.

Having absolute opinions on home maintenance topics can have both positive and negative implications. Here’s a detailed analysis of the pros and cons:

Pros

1.           Consistency in Approach:

o             Efficient Planning: Absolute opinions can lead to a consistent approach in handling home maintenance tasks. This can streamline decision-making and planning.

o             Reliability: A consistent method ensures that maintenance tasks are performed in a reliable manner, potentially leading to better long-term results.

2.           Confidence in Decision-Making:

o             Quick Decisions: Absolute opinions can facilitate quicker decision-making, as there's less deliberation over different methods.

o             Reduced Stress: Knowing exactly how to handle maintenance issues can reduce the stress and uncertainty that comes with home repairs and upkeep.

3.           Expertise Development:

o             Specialization: Holding strong opinions can be indicative of a deep understanding or specialization in certain areas of home maintenance.

o             Skill Improvement: Consistently applying the same methods can lead to skill refinement and mastery over time.

4.           Simplified Communication:

o             Clear Instructions: For those hiring contractors or communicating with family members, absolute opinions can lead to clear and straightforward instructions.

Cons

1.           Lack of Flexibility:

o             Resistance to New Methods: Absolute opinions can make one resistant to new or potentially better methods and technologies.

o             Adaptability Issues: Home maintenance challenges can vary; a rigid approach might not be suitable for all situations.

2.           Potential for Conflict:

o             Disagreements: Strong opinions can lead to conflicts with others who have different views on how maintenance should be handled.

o             Contractor Relations: If hiring professionals, inflexible opinions might lead to strained relationships with contractors who have their own preferred methods.

3.           Risk of Outdated Practices:

o             Obsolescence: Techniques and materials evolve. Absolute opinions might anchor someone to outdated practices, leading to inefficiencies or suboptimal results.

o             Missed Innovations: Being open to new ideas can lead to discovering innovative solutions that improve maintenance quality and efficiency.

4.           Potential for Overconfidence:

o             Ignoring Expertise: Homeowners with absolute opinions might overlook the advice of experts, leading to improper maintenance or repairs.

o             Misjudgment: Overconfidence in one's methods can result in misjudging the complexity of a problem and applying inadequate solutions.

Conclusion

While having absolute opinions on home maintenance topics can provide consistency, confidence, and clear communication, it also poses risks such as inflexibility, potential conflicts, and the danger of outdated practices. Balancing strong opinions with an openness to new information and approaches is crucial for effective and efficient home maintenance.

When it comes to purchasing tools for construction or any other DIY projects, both discount tool retailers and big box stores have their advantages and disadvantages. Here's a comparison to help you decide which option might be better for your needs:

Discount Tool Retailers:

1.            Specialized Selection: Discount tool retailers often focus exclusively on tools and equipment, offering a wide range of products from various brands. They may have a more specialized selection compared to big box stores, which might be beneficial if you're looking for specific or high-quality tools.

2.            Lower Prices: As the name suggests, discount tool retailers typically offer lower prices compared to big box stores. They may achieve these lower prices through bulk purchasing, direct sourcing, or by operating with lower overhead costs.

3.            Knowledgeable Staff: Some discount tool retailers employ staff who are knowledgeable about tools and their uses. They can provide valuable advice and assistance in selecting the right tool for your needs.

4.            Focus on Professionals: Discount tool retailers often cater to professional contractors and tradespeople, so they may carry a broader range of professional-grade tools and equipment. This can be advantageous if you require tools for heavy-duty or commercial use.

Big Box Stores:

1.            Convenience: Big box stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Walmart are ubiquitous and convenient to access. They typically have large, well-organized stores with ample parking, making them convenient for quick tool purchases or browsing.

2.            One-Stop Shopping: Big box stores offer a wide range of products beyond just tools, including building materials, home appliances, and home improvement supplies. This can be convenient if you need to purchase other items along with your tools.

3.            Price Matching: Some big box stores offer price matching policies, where they match or beat the prices of their competitors, including discount tool retailers. This can allow you to get competitive prices without sacrificing convenience.

4.            Warranty and Returns: Big box stores often have generous return policies and may offer extended warranties on certain products. This can provide peace of mind knowing that you can easily return or exchange a tool if it doesn't meet your expectations.

In summary, if you're looking for specialized tools, lower prices, and knowledgeable staff, a discount tool retailer may be the better option. On the other hand, if convenience, one-stop shopping, and flexible return policies are important to you, then a big box store might be the preferred choice. Ultimately, it depends on your specific needs, budget, and preferences.

Summer always brings out the mosquitoes.  There are some simple things you can do to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home.

•             Wear Light Colored Clothing: Turns out, mosquitoes are attracted to dark colored clothing

•             Run Fans at Ground Level: The chemicals human bodies put off hang in the air around us and allow mosquitoes to hone in on us — and that’s when the biting starts. Rapid air movement confuses mosquitoes, and dissipating these telltale human signs makes us harder to find.  So set fans on the ground and turn them on to break up the scent patterns. This simple solution is surprisingly effective for spur-of-the-moment events or gatherings in your yard. Because they are so light, mosquitoes are weak flyers. The breeze from the fans makes it difficult for them to fly, keeping them out of your entertainment area. If you don’t have repellent on hand, then this is the best way to get rid of mosquitoes for the moment.

•             Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so empty any containers that collect water regularly, such as flower pots, buckets, and bird baths.

•             Maintain Gutters and Drains: Clean out gutters and ensure they are not clogged, as clogged gutters can hold water and become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

•             Keep Yard Clean: Remove any debris or leaf piles where water can collect. Trim overgrown vegetation where mosquitoes like to rest during the day.

•             Use Mosquito Repellents: Use mosquito repellents on your skin or clothing when outdoors, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.  DEET, Clove Spray, Citronella oil, Peppermint, NEEM, Lavender, Eucalyptus.

•             Install Screens: Ensure windows and doors have screens without holes to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

•             Consider Mosquito Traps: There are various types of traps available that can help reduce mosquito populations around your property.

•             Natural Predators: Encourage natural predators of mosquitoes, such as dragonflies, by adding plants and water features that attract them.

•             Mosquito-Repelling Plants: Plant mosquito-repelling plants like citronella, lavender, marigolds, and basil around your yard.

•             Professional Help: In severe cases, consider contacting a pest control professional who can provide more targeted solutions.

Implementing these strategies can significantly reduce the mosquito population around your home and make your outdoor spaces more enjoyable.

The Handyman Pros have a candid discussion about Job Success.  Forecasting the success of a job before starting requires careful evaluation and consideration of various factors. Here are some key steps and factors to consider:

1.           Define Project Scope and Objectives: Clearly define the scope, objectives, and deliverables of the project. Understanding what needs to be accomplished will help in evaluating whether you are a good fit for the job.

2.           Assess Experience and Expertise: Review the your past experience and expertise in similar projects. Look for relevant qualifications, certifications, and a track record of successful projects.

3.           Evaluate Reputation and References: Be aware of your reputation in the industry and seek references from past clients or colleagues. Positive references and a good reputation are indicators of potential success.

4.           Review Portfolio and Samples: Examine the contractor's portfolio and samples of previous work. This will give you an idea of their style, quality of work, and whether it aligns with your project requirements.

5.           Assess Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Effective communication is crucial for project success. Evaluate your communication skills, responsiveness, and ability to understand and address your requirements.

6.           Consider Time and Resource Management: Evaluate your ability to manage time and resources effectively. Look for indicators of punctuality, organization, and the ability to meet deadlines.

7.           Financial Stability and Pricing: Assess financial stability and pricing structure. While cost is an important factor, prioritize value over the cheapest option to ensure quality and reliability.

8.           Contract Terms and Conditions: Review the contract terms and conditions thoroughly. Ensure that they are clear, comprehensive, and protect your interests as well as the customers.

9.           Evaluate Problem-Solving Skills: Assess the your problem-solving skills and ability to adapt to unexpected challenges or changes in the project scope.

10.        Alignment with Company Culture and Values: Consider whether your values and working style align with your customer’s culture. A good cultural fit can contribute to a smoother collaboration and project execution.

11.        Consider Legal and Compliance Requirements: Ensure that you comply with legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the project, such as licenses, permits, and insurance coverage.

12.        Trust Your Instincts: Finally, trust your instincts and intuition. If something doesn't feel right or if there are red flags during the evaluation process, it's important to address them or consider alternative options.

By carefully evaluating these factors before starting a job, you can increase the likelihood of project success and minimize risks associated with hiring the wrong customer.
