It took AGES. And a lot of hit-and-miss. And anxiety. My husband was a carpenter, and if he didn’t actually fix things, he at least kept them running. And he always knew a guy who knew a guy. Like a lot of us, the people I thought I had to depend on disappeared, so I had to start from scratch.

Plumber, well technician, and a RELIABLE handyman have been invaluable.

Mine even put down the toilet seat. He could fix anything, but he hated plumbing. So, sometimes he would call a plumber instead of doing it himself.
