    You, sir, are a stand up guy! Did I notice you going into Home Depot through the exit doors? Lol jk.. You're right, one trait of successful people is that they are up and at em early in the morning, planning out the day. Hats off to your wife as well! Lots of tasty food in this video. I recommend jalapenos with everything! Enjoy your day partner!

      HAHA! Thanks! I don't always break the rules, but when I do, I go in the exit at home depot! :) Thanks for the comment! How has work been for you?

      Work has been good. Should be finished with this project we've been on for a few weeks now. Realtor flipping this home, so we fixed the foundation, replaced roof, new drywall, cabinets, floors, doors, remodeled bathrooms, paint inside and out. Looking to be finished in two days, then a similar gig, and hopefully building a house in May for a repeat customer. We're still in the planning stages of that. I love the big projects, but I also love the fast projects like the ones you spoke of a few videos back. 👍

    I watched my dad wake up early everyday and devote his first breath and time to God. He would read his bible and pray before getting ready for work or his day. We never went without and always had a roof over our head and food on the table. I am a handyman as well, your videos help me along my way.

    Hi Lee. What size is your trailer? I recently started my handyman business in Columbus Ohio. I'm currently using a 2006 Toyota Sequoia to haul tools and materials. It gets full quick. Thank you.

    • @handymanjourney
      @handymanjourney  6 лет назад

      Thanks for your comment Joel! Yes it is amazing how much tools and other stuff acquires. lol My trailer is a 5' x 8' , I love the size, I just wish it was about a foot taller.

    Hey man. I know this is a personal question so feel free to ignore it but, how much taxable income do you expect to make this year?

    • @handymanjourney
      @handymanjourney  6 лет назад +1

      Hey Matt, Thanks for your question, I appreciate it. Last year my business made about $70K , My business is structured as an LLC so not all of that was taxed, I pay my self out of what the business makes but only as much as I need. I hope that answered your question.

    Allen, your video is a stand up job! I love watching you fix the fence, making the best of your time eating while your concrete is curing. The Gopro on the fender while on the road is fantastic + choice of background music.
    You should check out Casey Neistat videos in NYC. He's a pro at it. I think you'll enjoy his style.
    Keep them coming, your bringing us with you on your work sites!
    Giving back to the community via your church is a big deal ! Feeding the hungry is honorable. Thanks again!

    Really enjoying the new view from the trailer fender, and the practice of getting up early is always a great way to increase your own productivity and success. 👍🏼

    Early bird gets the worm! Great to see that getting up early has boosted business. I'm up early but my morning is filled with getting 3 kids ready and the wife lol then my day starts. Also great to see a fellow handyman showing how he ministers to his community and his local church! Awesome videos!

    1:40. Just order the stuff you need at homedepot.com and they are ready for pickup when you arrive. Saves so much time. $$$$$ You'll still need to get a few things you forgot to at to order. But like anything, it's a process and you will know when to add consumables, i.e. caulk, tape, etc to the list. God Bless.

    Hey lee, great channel!
    I’m starting my own handyman business myself and was wondering how you came up with the $110 price to replace the toilet valve assembly?
    I tend to under charge for stuff like that. Yesterday I replaced two bathroom facets at my neighbors house for $60 labor. I feel like I’m way under what a should be after watching your video. Thanks

    • @handymanjourney
      @handymanjourney  6 лет назад

      Great question! I appreciate your comment! I would recommend for you to check out this video, I explain my pricing strategy. ruclips.net/video/1SVs72oarA0/видео.html

    • @carlosaraiza0331
      @carlosaraiza0331 6 лет назад +2

      Timothy, I purchased this same Activeon action camera a few weeks ago for $35 on Amazon, it's great! Does what I need it to do, and the kids have fun with it in the pool or when we bike ride. I'm not sure I'm interested in making videos for RUclips, but if I was, this camera does very well. Give it a shot, Timothy (no pun intended.)

    • @handymanjourney
      @handymanjourney  6 лет назад +1

      Haha! Yes it is definitely worth a shot! I love the camera! What did you all think of the shots of it mounted to the trailer?

    • @wildacresconstruction5493
      @wildacresconstruction5493 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks and yes I’m looking to get one for the channel.

    • @carlosaraiza0331
      @carlosaraiza0331 6 лет назад +1

      The camera shots from the trailer fender were interesting. I had to squint a little bit, though, because I was getting a very, very slight feeling of nausea. But that's due to the very easily triggered motion sickness nonsense that I have. Yes, I'm weak. I don't ride roller coasters. I never ride passenger. But I can fly in airplanes and do cartwheels with no problems lol. All kidding aside though, it was an interesting angle, but I need to see the big picture of everything around me. I'll take my Dramamine an hour before watching your videos. I've read that placing an aspirin in your belly button keeps you from getting nauseous, but that sounds just a bit too weird for me to consider doing lol.
