Our Saturday Projects Together
The "Unprofessional" Handymen are Stu and John Ryan, father and son, who enjoy spending most Saturdays doing things together such as working on a variety of household projects and taking a break for lunch.
Projects
We thought it would be cool to write down our experiences, thoughts/impressions about how our projects went: what worked, what we would do different, how we got really lucky or unlucky. At the very least, put up some photos…
