About Max

I started HandymanLib because finding a straight answer to a simple home-repair question usually means scrubbing through a 20-minute video or scrolling past 800 words of preamble. I wanted the opposite — a written, scannable reference you can read in two minutes and trust before you pick up a tool.

I run the editorial side of the site. Every guide is researched against primary sources — manufacturer instructions, current building code (IRC and NEC), and federal and trade authorities like the EPA, OSHA, the CPSC, and university extension services — drafted with the help of AI tools, then fact-checked line by line by a human before it publishes. Safety-critical work in electrical, gas, plumbing, and structural repair is flagged for a licensed pro rather than glossed over, and every guide carries a visible "last reviewed" date so you know how current it is.
