'Deaf people can do things' | Sheboygan Press | sheboyganpress.com

There's a startling "before-and-after" quality to the projects done by Jeff Mauer, owner of 72 Handyman, Sheboygan Falls.

Take the kitchen remodel Mauer did for Brad Schoenemann and Tina Weiterman's Oostburg home.

The "before" shots of the kitchen show dark cabinets with dated trim and poorly made drawers. Old countertops and faded linoleum made the atmosphere even drearier.

Enter Mauer, aided by crew member Kurt Granberg, and over the space of a few months, they transformed the room, installing cabinets in rich maple, a countertop that harmonizes perfectly with its surroundings, and laminate floors in a honeyed glaze, the "after" photos displaying a fresh, modern feel.

"We love it," Schoenemann said. "We'll definitely have him come back."

When Mauer saw Schoenemann's words, signed by an American Sign Language interpreter, his face lit up with a big grin.

Mauer, deaf since age 4, started 72 Handyman after spending many years learning the tricks of the trade from his father, Joe Mauer, in the Sheboygan Falls home he grew up in.
 
Yep, we can do great things if the hearing people take the time to know us and not get us discrimination. They think that we don't know how to do great things at all just because of our deafness. That is why we must try to teach hearing people that we can do things just like them except we just can not hear. As long as we find something we can do things without being in the hearing world, then we can make business doing that. :fingersx: :)
 
DUHHHHH yes!!!!!!! of course deafs can do everything same as hearing people. loss of hear is not making us discapable of develop great talent.
 
Didn't even need to read the thread just LOVE the title of it!! Hell yeah we can... lacking in hearing does NOT equate to lacking in intelligence/ability :)
 
Sometimes lacking in hearing equates to BETTER intelligence/ability - since we pay attention to more detail due to lack of auditory distractions. :)
