Occasionally I try to focus on a local business in this space. And last week I had the pleasure of meeting with Lance Huber from The Tool Box. He's local here in Rappahannock County and he does some amazing work.

The Tool Box is primarily a handyman service. And every homeowner knows how hard it can be to find a good, reliable, reasonably priced handyman! Lance fits the bill on all counts. Whether it's drywall repair, doors that need adjusting or minor electrical and plumbing jobs, he's done it all.

Now all of that is pretty impressive because it's so rare to be able to find someone who even shows up when they say they will! But I'm even more impressed with the woodworking that Lance does.

The above photograph illustrates some of the more formal furnishings that Lance has done. But that's not all he's produced.

Pieces like this garden bench are more whimsical. I love this piece!

And this "rooster chalet" is a remarkable, totally unique work of art!

His work has been featured and sold all over the world. And it's wonderful to have such a treasure right here in Rappahannock County!

If you'd like to contact Lance either for his handyman services or to purchase some of his woodworking skills you can give him a call at 540-937-3332.
