I happened across a great handyman, word of mouth, who has the most interesting story.
Lee Royal worked for the Fed’s carrying mail in the Overton Park area for years. Apparently some of the little old ladies around there would ask Mr. Royal to help them change lightbulbs and such when he came around. He said it cut into his workday, but he was willing to help out. When the USPS found out about this they chastised him saying that he couldn’t do such things within the scope of his employment. His response was that he could whatever liked on his lunch hour.
After facing opposition within his day job, he decided he might just become a full time handyman. He say’s he has been at it for sometime now, and makes a good living. It has provided for his home, a rental property, and all of his tools (which require a large trailer).
I needed some sprinkler work done, and he did it very quickly at a surprisingly low rate. I believe he specializes in Carpentry and Painting, but doesn’t seem to avoid many tasks at all. I would certainly call him again.
I would provided his contact information here, but feel a little awkward doing so without his express permission. I would be willing to provide on an individual level if anyone cares to contact me.
