What exception am I talking about? I am talking about all the things you need to learn to maintain a home. I am talking BIG jobs here, not little ones like using a screwdriver, or changing a light bulb.
I refer to the following as examples: replacing a light fixture, installing a new kitchen sink and faucet, repairing wobbly antique chairs, putting in a new showerhead, extending a deck, repairing an electrical outlet sticking out of the wall, and shaving off the top of your back door so you don't have to dislocate your shoulder, every time you try to open the darn thing. I could go on ad nauseum. That is what I feel when I think of all the work involved.... NAUSEOUS.
Do you know how hard it is to find a really good handyman? They aren't exactly a dime a dozen here. I have yet to find a "handyman" (or woman for that matter), in the phone book, or online. General contractors, and carpenters, want BIG jobs, not tiny ones.
I can't always prevail on my brothers to help me out here, although they often do. Handy Bro spent an entire Sunday afternoon replacing my toilet last year. What an angel!
I am a busy lady here, and when I have free time, I want to be hitting the trails for a wonderful hike, or jumping on a plane and flying to some new, unexplored destination. I don't want to be doing ALL this work.
However, I don't want to move into an apartment either. I love my little home, with my little water view. I do have a bit of a conundrum.
If I can afford to pay, I will pay, is what this issue boils down to. So, does anyone have a husband out there for hire?
Well, you didn't ask Roger first on any of these jobs. Are you just shy??? Anyway, in a bind, you know you can rely on him. And isn`t there a handy man not far from your place on Golf Street but not my husband. Seems to me I gave you his number. Roger saw a truck today in Salmon Beach that said Handyman on it. Maybe we can inquire for you? Just so you know!!!
