True Stories of Failed Home Maintenance
I spilt a large glass of red wine on my friend's new carpet yesterday. Well, not really my mate. Not now. Not after I gave them my home maintenance tip for removing stains.
Apparently if you pour candle wax on a red wine stain and then try to iron it out not only will it singe the carpet, char the wooden floors beneath, set off the smoke detector and set fire to the cat, it might also strain friendships just that bit past breaking point.
I even offered to call and pay for a handy man or home repair services, but was not able to call one before the fire engine showed up and I was charged with malignant arson.
The difficulty with attempting home repairs yourself is that there's each probability of making the issue much much worse. It is best to find some home improvement consultants who specialize in house repairs or garden maintenance, (depending on your particular situation).
But if you are looking to replace those missing tiles or upgrade the leaky bathroom, it can be difficult to find someone specialized in home renovations or house repairs. Your average workman is more used to the demolition derby approach, which doesn't really work that well if you have a cramped living room full of the collection of dear antique babushka dolls that you inherited from Aunt Mavis.
Nothing says, whoops I really should not have hired this guy, more clearly than the gloomy, doleful sound of 12 exploding babushka dolls. Oh, Aunt Mavis. How we miss you.
Pro and qualified home improvement services that come with the top of the line in home repair supplies are more difficult to find than a wine stain removal trick that actually works, (and won't ignite the locale). Calling up somebody out of the phone book leads to Tim the Tool Man Taylor arriving three days late and taking a power drill to a load-bearing wall.
