All Hands Tom

The gang starts arriving a week from today, and we are getting excited. Excited to see the kids but also excited because our garbage disposal is broken. Sunday morning I noticed water marks on the rug in front of the sink, I asked "The Madge" and she said she spilled some water on it. OK, no problem, wrong!!! A half an hour later she tells me that there is a lot water in the cabinet below the sink. Yep, lots and lots of water, so I grabbed the trusty flashlight and few tools to tighten any loose fittings. Again wrong!!! There is a crack in the disposal that can not be patched. What does any sane person do in this situation, you call your Handyman. OK, it's Sunday and it is a day of rest not to mention double time for workers, but this is an emergency. My guy Tom asked if it could wait until Monday as he was going fishing and "Hey, do you want to go with me?". I thanked him for the invitation and said we could wait until Monday to fix this thing, I meant replace this thing. He said he would stop in the morning and get a new one, "What model do you have?". I told him the model and to my surprise the unit we have is rated for an apartment meaning "light use". No wonder it only lasted us one year, "Tom, you better bump that model up at least three levels". Tom is on his way over here with the new unit and some fish that he caught. I bet Tom will ask for max $50 for the labor, now you know why I use him. By this afternoon we will be back in business so bring on the family.

Help!!! Our garbage is backing up.
