Introduction

The editors at Family Handyman magazine were lucky enough to get a tour of Mr. Build It’s newly rehabbed home on the outskirts of Boise, Idaho. You might know Mr. Build It — Alex Mazhukhin — from his show that streams on At Home With Family Handyman. The projects he does on the show are real-life labors of love from his home.
