Al & Kelly Carrell:
The gold standard for home/household advice!

For more than 30 years, Super Al has been dispensing folksy advice on household problems and repairs through his syndicated newspaper column, his radio and TV shows and his books.

Al Carrell has the ability to take things many folks look upon as pure drudgery and make it all seem like fun. And, he has fun doing it! He won't even consider retiring because he really enjoys what he does.

He began searching for easier ways to do everyday tasks. His knowledge of such shortcuts and money savers soon grew encyclopedic, and "The Super Handyman" column was born.

The popular "Super Handyman" column , distributed three times a week by King Features Syndicate to hundreds of newspapers nationwide, is the work of Al Carrell (who created the feature in 1968) and his daughter Kelly (who started to share the byline in 1995).

"The Super Handyman" is an invaluable resource to those who love the notion of fixing things around the house, and also to those who dread it. With easy-to-follow tips and a firm understanding of household needs, the Carrell's can turn an "every man" into a "handyman."

There have been seven Super Handyman books to date, the latest book being, "1000 Questions About Home Repair & Maintenance." One of them, "The Super Handyman's Encyclopedia of Home Repair Hints," has enjoyed 22 printings and was a Popular Science Book Club selection .

Carrell is a familiar face on television and a reassuring voice on radio. He co-founded the half-hour syndicated TV show "Your New House," which reached over 80% of all U. S. TV homes. Another hour-long version of the shows has aired daily on The Discovery Channel. His 90-second "About the House" TV features have been carried in more than 100 markets.

Carrell has appeared as a guest on scores of TV shows, including "Today," "Good Morning America," "Hour Magazine," the PBS show, "Over Easy," and of course, "Your New House." He and his wife were the hosts of a half-hour TV series called "Great Possibilities in Remodeling," which ran on The Nashville Network. He was featured on CNN twice a day for three years.

For more than 20 years, Al has helped radio listeners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who call his weekend show looking for advice.
