Default Looking for a Handyman

Can anyone recommend a handyman? I'm looking for someone to do some basic things like installing a clothesline, installing hanging flowerpots, putting up that wire mesh stuff on our gate, etc. Thanks.

Yeah, yeah, I read that article. I'm sure he could do it, although I'm not sure about the hanging things from the ceiling part. We're just not used to dealing with concrete walls and ceilings.

But we've come to the realization that we have better things to do. Labor is cheap here, and we work more than enough as it is.

We have a couple of different guys who do just about anything we ask of them. One is basically a plumber/electrician but does all sorts of things, the other one does a little bit of everything. Let us know if you want their names & numbers.

Yes please! Definitely want the guy who does a bit of everything, and with all the electrical problems our house has, we can always use number of another electrician.

I wish! No, no, I'm just trying to make the best of the house we're renting. We're not remodeling bathrooms or anything. I just need help with a few small things.

Now I have a visual of the pic you put up with the suede fringe jacket, long hair and your blue tool chest.
