Looking for an Americano Handyman

11 years ago

I know this is a public forum and anyone could answer BUT someone posted that they were a handyman. I would LOVE to meet you and hire you. Please mention the post where you stated you were a handyman so that I know it is you.

Here's the story:
1st: The kitchen sink leaks. The knob that turns the water on/off to the washer squirts water across the room. My toilet leaks and flooded the floor. My bathroom sink leaks and flooded the floor. Marilyn's sink keeps coming away from the wall. Soooo, I find out that we are NOT to flush toilet paper down the toilet as it clogs the pipes. You have to throw it in the waste basket.

2nd: Anyway, so I get up, half asleep, stumbling my way through the dark with my little ol' flashlight (so as not to wake Marilyn) and step into 3 inches of water. COLD water! The tank of the toilet was over-flowing, running onto the floor, out the door and cascading down the step into the kitchen!!! So, at at 1:00 am, I am turning off the water feed to the toilet. then we two old farts are scooping up water with dustpans (NOOOO ... we didn't a wet vac!) and throwing the water into the shower. After "bailing water" for a million minutes, we had to swab the deck with every last towel we owned to get everything back to hunky dory. Did I say my bathroom sink was fixed? NOT! It’s still leaking and it still needs a bucket under the pipes.
