Default Handyman/Welder

I am in need of a handyman that is possibly is a Welder as well--I have an Outdoor Grill that needs a few replacements parts put back (I have ordered) the parts due here this week--It's a Stainless Steel Grill and needs the lighter iginition switch replaced and the pull out tank assembly part replaced, again,I will have both parts and extras if needed, but need a real handy and patient handyman to replace these parts.

I also have a Stainless Steel Smoker that is need of some minor replacement parts changed (again I have the parts).

Hourly rate or come visit to give me a FLAT CHANGE RATE you decide.

Please call Patty 352 561-2360

located in Spanish Springs

Glad you mentioned it was stainless steel, I have a MIG welder, but stainless steel is a whole different story. Difficult to weld, and the welding wire is 3 times more expensive then steel. I helped another neighbor, and we replaced all of the broken welds with pop rivets, we were also looking at using stainless steels screws, but pop rivets were easier. You might want to consider these alternatives. Also, if you go with either of these alternatives, you may need cobalt drill bits for the stainless steel. Some conventional drill bits will not drill stainless steel.

Hope this helps.
