Jones has been my handyman for the last few years.
- He is retired, and likes doing handyman work to keep himself busy.
Jones is not fast, but he is skilled, and knows how to fix things. It turns out there are some jobs that Jones can’t handle. Maybe he is getting too old. It’s sad, because now I’m going to have to find someone else I can rely on. Recently I had a problem with the ceiling in my dining room. It was starting to sag along one edge, and I was fearful the ceiling might collapse on top of me during dinner. Jones took one look in the attic and told me I needed to call an HVAC professional. This was weird, because Jones had worked on my heating and cooling system many times over the years. He was not HVAC certified but knew his way around a furnace. Jones explained to me that he was smart enough to know his own limitations, and while he could fix some issues with an air conditioner, other things were too advanced for him. This is why he preferred working with older model natural gas furnaces and the like, because that was the technology of his generation. The last A/C issue I had was something he had no idea how to fix, so he was honest about that. At least Jones was able to recommend a reliable HVAC contractor for me to call. This company won’t be as cheap as Jones is, but I know I’ll get the best possible price.
