Bud Oughton: Filling a niche

Woodstock handyman doesn't mind pitching in when needed

Walk around the Adult and Child Therapy Services building in Woodstock and you’ll see examples of Bud Oughton’s handiwork.

He has installed a wooden cover over the radiator in the employee bathroom next to the break room, built cubbyholes for employees’ mail, built shelves, fixed and installed new thermostats, and even cleaned gutters.

“I’ve always been a handyman. I fill a niche for them, they often need something done, something fixed, something built, different things,” Oughton said. “I’ve done a lot of different work in the building, some outside the building.”
