Sure he can fix a computer blind folded and with his hands tied behind his back, but plumbing and electrical work? I wasn’t so sure. But I soon found out as Tom put his handyman skillz to work these past couple of days.
It started with a leaking toilet that got our basement quite damp. But no worries. Handyman to the rescue. The leak is gone and the basement dry. Then a couple of days later a breaker broke in our circuit box. He did all the right things, including replacing the breaker, but the problem is a little bit bigger and we have since called the pros. But while holding the flashlight over his shoulder as he braved a potential ZAP impressed me.
As of right now we still only have half a house of electricity. But the fridge works, the gas is getting to the stove top, it hasn’t been hot enough for air conditioning and one quick outlet switch for the coffee maker made the morning a breeze. Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch Matt and Meredith while curled up on the couch this morning but I really can’t complain. Besides, watching my computer geek husband get his hands a little dirty? Priceless.
