Call "The Guy"


You've done it - something in your house goes south, your in-house handyman (that would be me around here) can't fix it - so you call "the guy."  Normally, this is the plumber, the cable guy, the Geek Squad, etc.  Over time, we develop a list of our "guys."

Because I own an old house, all manner of odd things go wrong - doors stop closing right, evidence of a mysterious water leak appears on a ceiling, the bathroom exhaust fan sounds funny, a woodpecker discovers grubs in your outside trim - a bewildering variety of odd things.

Who do you call?  These aren't "normal" things.  You check around.  Who knew there were door guys?  Doors.  Just doors.  Grout guys.  Just grout.  Outdoor light guys.  Can you do pool lights?  Sorry, just outdoor lights.

There's a guy for everything!  But you have to find them.  And - regrettably - with my old house, they each have gainful employment.
