Mr. Fix It. 4/12

A jack of all trades, master of none... just try and get the job done on time and under estimate. All the local trades guys belly ache about the lack of business but they don't even return calls. Either it's deer season or they are on spring break in Florida. So it's up to me. My last hammer/saw job was to our living room. It looks like something out of the Adams family.

There was an old set of windows that set in a nock that over hung the foundation. It’s a picture perfect spot overlooking the lake. It's a very inviting place to curl up with a book and pass some time watching the world outside, nature stuff again.

The only problem was that if you sat there in the winter months longer than 5 minutes you tended to get frost bite. Did I mention that our place was built in 1900 by left-handed carpenters and before the advent of level and squares?

So Mr. Fix it went to work and even special ordered a picture window the proper size of the large opening. It took four of us to man handle the thing into position and another 3 days of finishing work. Now the nock is tight as a drum and a joy to be in.

Only one problem, non of us including the foreman noticed that we had the window installed upside down. Yes, another outstanding job finished by Mr. Fit whois now at it again. I happen to be for hire and the rates are unbelievable and I am not telling which way.
