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.
We’re happy to share an exclusive step-by-step to one of his most impressive builds: barn doors, rejiggered to fit in a home. (You’ll find the step-by-step after the story below.) Enjoy reading this slice of life from our visit with Mazhukhin. And if you’re up for a challenge, try the barn door DIY project!
