  • Empowering Information

    I have always wanted to do more home projects like painting, trim work, and many other odds and end jobs. Watching the How to Handyma’am podcast has helped me feel more courageous and comfortable doing these jobs! Seeing women doing things that are labeled “more manly” jobs helps me feel empowered knowing i can also do these things with ease and more style🫶🏼

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Handyma'am State of Mind (with Johanna Schuster-Craig, Smaller Scale LLC) | SideQuest 33
Q: How can someone protect their joy during a career transition?
Her advice includes practical steps like securing a transition fund, engaging in planning rather than impulsive moves, and maintaining community and support systems to sustain motivation and wellbeing.
The Handyma'am State of Mind (with Johanna Schuster-Craig, Smaller Scale LLC) | SideQuest 33
Q: What advice would you have for those who are driven by rage or want to change careers but are afraid?
She suggests evaluating personal and family situations, exploring while still employed, seeking supportive networks, and ensuring there is a plan and resources (like savings or family support) before making a drastic leap.
Cat Urine Houses, Drywall Crackers, & The WD-40 Lie | SideQuest 30
Q: What about patching drywall with a California Patch—won't the paper overlap cause issues later?
Any patch that overlaps the opening creates a depth difference that can be visible; larger patches tend to feather better and blend in, but it's essential to ensure proper wetness and bonding to avoid future cracking. The technique works but requires multiple coats and careful feathering to blend.
Cat Urine Houses, Drywall Crackers, & The WD-40 Lie | SideQuest 30
Q: In a 19-tons home, obvious repairs and inspections are needed, but there is a cat urine smell. Is it worth trying to rip out the floors?
The answer depends on the type of floor: rip out carpet or linoleum if smell persists; avoid ripping out solid hardwood unless the odor penetrates the subfloor, because you may not remove the smell completely. If odor is down to the subfloor, replacing the subfloor is recommended, especially with plywood that's affected.

Q: Spindles must be spaced so a four inch sphere cannot pass through.
Fact; four-inch spacing is required for safety around openings.
