2nd Pair of Hands
Has anyone hired someone to help with projects around the house? I'm pretty handy myself but sometimes I just need another pair of hands to perhaps hold a light assembly while I hook it up or help install attic stairs. Easy jobs but really difficult when working alone. My wife helps when she can but in the interest of preserving our marriage, I try not to ask her too often. <G>
Here, in NY, I can most always get a friend of relative to help and then I reciprocate when they need help. After I make the move to TV later this year I'll be a one man band so I'll need to hire someone.
I certainly don't mind hiring a handyman or other professional when necessary but I'm perfectly capable of doing most homeowner stuff myself.
