My problem has always been finding someone who can do small jobs (small for them, not for me!). For example, a piece of siding blew off the house last week, right in the gable end of the side. I called someone and they said ‘yeah I can come look at it and see what it would cost to fix it’ and I mentioned I had some other jobs that need to be done, to sweeten the pot. No show, and not responding to texts and phone calls.

So today, I went to the BBB website and looked for handyman companies in my area. Some that said they were handyman do things more like kitchen remodels. But I found one I thought might fit-listed all this stuff he does, said ‘no job too small’, ex-military, and when looking to hire someone his Facebook post said ‘dependability a MUST!’.

So when I called, he said he could do that. Asked where was I located; told him and he said he was right around the corner. He was here in 5 minutes. He needs to replace the vinyl vent piece on it; he said he had a piece at his shop that would work and he’ll be here tomorrow to fix it.

Now I’m working on a ‘honey do’ list!!!
