Well, I haven’t been around much since I came back. I don’t know why, maybe life! LOL
But, this is what has been happening in my life:
I finally found a handyman to come and do some small jobs for me, like putting in a couple of ceiling fans and two faucets. I don’t know what is the matter with me, if I have idiot stamped on my forehead, or stupid or blonde (sorry girls). But, every time I either look in the phone book and pick a business out….. It is a fiasco. This time, the handy mans business card was on our board at work, so I thought why not give him a try, he does everything. So………
I call, he comes and says, yes small jobs I can get them done in about 2 hours.. Total. Great I thought!. I had already bought the ceiling fans I wanted and the faucets. So, we made the appointment and he came promptly that day. He started in replacing the light I had with the first ceiling fan in my dining room. Got it almost hooked up and the light part of the fan would not work, but the fans did. So, down it came again, and he noticed he had wired it wrong. Okay, back up it went and voila it worked. Now to figure out how to get the dome flush to the ceiling. For some reason, (it had a short post to it) the dome wouldn’t “fit”….. so down it came again. Well, he finally figured out there were 2 screws that needed to be loosened to slide the dome to the top… well not that took a rocket scientist to figure out!!! I am thinking well, things happen, oh well. Any way, three hours later…….. The fan is in!!
Now, he has another fan to put in my bedroom. By the way, I did take my bed apart and move things so he would have clear access to the light fixture. To make this story short, I had bought a remote fan and he could not get the remote receiver end in the dome where it supposed to go. He was getting frustrated and doing a lot of talking to himself, well needless to say, as he tried one more time, he was holding the glass globe and with the other had, a nut….. Yup you guessed it, he dropped the nut into the globe and the next sound was shattering glass. SO…… back to the store I went the next day to get another fan…. NOT remote, and a smaller one. He came back again, and after about another hour, it was installed and working. He left.
That night when I came home from work, I put my bed back together, and turned on the light/fan. Now all I wanted on was the fan, not the light…… guess what…. I cannot pull the chain that is connected to the fan… it gets hung up, it won’t budge!
He is here today, to do my last job… the kitchen faucet and taking out my dead garbage disposal. He has only been here about 15 minutes and I can hear him already sputtering.
More to come in another post…….. wait until you hear what he did to my bathroom faucet and little toilet flapper..........
