Nailing Down the Right Handyman: How to Find the One Who’ll Show Up, Do the Job, and Get It Done Right
A handyman isn’t just for tightening loose doorknobs or hanging shelves—they often cover a wide range of minor home repairs and light remodeling tasks. From painting and drywall repair to installing ceiling fans, small plumbing jobs, or even pressure washing the deck, their skills can span multiple trades.
The Art of Home Customization
Stepping through the grand front door, natural light cascades through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the carefully curated interiors. The heart of the home—the kitchen—has been meticulously crafted to balance beauty and functionality. Exquisite custom cabinetry, generous storage solutions, and pristine countertops provide the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Don’t Dread Opening Your Pool This Spring
Once you’ve completed all of this, there is nothing else to do but make sure that you stay on top of the chlorination process all season, and enjoy your pool!

Eye Catching Dazzle
Detailing isn’t a process that should be limited to rebuilt, antique show cars or high-end sports cars. There’s more to detailing than exterior glitter. It just makes sense to keep a vehicle in the best shape possible.
Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival
Even if you do not necessarily recognize the featured artists at first and there are so many Maple Blues, Juno, and even Grammy award winning musicians, that is part of the joy and reward of the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival. Meeting these amazing, new-to-you talents, will surely make you come away with new favourites. The best way to enjoy music is live!
Every Room with a View
Set on a picturesque 90-acre property in the Caledon Hills, John and Kelly’s recently constructed custom-built stone-house overlooks two ponds. It was, in fact, those ponds which convinced them the property was the perfect site for their house.
Curacao, Classic Caribbean
Palm shaded beaches, surrounded by turquoise seas and the weather is predictably appealing, far from the traditional Caribbean hurricane corridor. It’s great for sun-bathing, swimming, and underwater snorkeling.
The Fire & Ice Festival
“We’ve now done 12 of them, each of them with a big lofty idea that we pursue for a few months … we try to create a theme, and this year’s theme is Brian’s and it’s going to be really exciting …

Fresh Flavour and Warm Company
RustiK’s priority is to source their food as locally as possible, so that when it’s served to their guests it brings out those bold, fresh flavours that you can only get from quality fresh food made expertly into dishes that best compliment their flavours, and it’s these flavours which will make you bounce in your seat because it’s just that good.
Enjoying the Fall Harvest
During the summer months, it’s easy to remember all of the local produce that’s available in Southern Ontario. From bright flavourful berries to fresh sweet corn that’s second to none, June, July and August are filled with visits to local farms, markets and fruit stands before the harvest runs out, and we have to settle for canned, frozen and imported produce that just doesn’t hold the same appeal.
Northern Living Spaces
My first year working as a journalist in Nunavut happened to coincide with what is arguably the biggest event in the territory’s history- devolution. Devolution proceeded the April 1 celebrations when first Inuk Governor General Mary Simon came to mark not only the anniversary of the formal transfer of over thirty years of Land Claims negotiations, but the 25th anniversary of the creation of the territory we now call Nunavut.
Creating Custom Personal Experiences
Jewellery marks many special occasions. From weddings to births and even end of life, jewellery is so often purchased or gifted to mark these moments in time. It is also passed down through generations, creating a personal value that is far more significant than merely the weight of the metals and gems that make up the piece.
A Window is More Than Just a Pane of Glass.
“Obviously dad’s work ethic which he has passed down to the company and everyone involved, but I think as a company you need to be able to adapt. In our case, Lloyd Scott Enterprises has branched out in many different directions over the years which is very important if you want to have a successful business.
Still Going Strong
So, to sum it up, we have great quality, handmade, solid wood furniture along with great finishing available.
35+ years later and we are still going strong with no end in sight!
Hereward Farms and the Wind Phone
A Wind Phone is a simple rotary phone that is not connected to any network. This phone offers an avenue of connecting to a loved one who has passed. One simply picks up the phone receiver and speaks from the heart with a loved one. These messages then travel on the wind to the departed soul. Thus, the name “Wind Phone.”
