My handyman is named Hacksaw.
Well, that isn’t the name of his birth certificate, I suppose, but it’s what everyone calls him.
I have no system for what his real name is, then even on his company cards he just has the name Hacksaw. He is what my dad would call an “Old Time Tough Guy.” Hacksaw stands over various feet tall, in addition to being sculpted from rock-hard muscle. To my comprehension Hacksaw is not licensed or bonded as a supplier, but he’s the first person I call for any electrical, plumbing, or HVAC complications. I am well aware that HVAC techs need to be certified, in addition to that I am equally aware Hacksaw does not have said certification. Hacksaw is a “good old boy” who is a lot smarter than he seems, in addition to he has consistently offered excellent service for my heating in addition to cooling needs. My house has a very old natural gas furnace, which Hacksaw tunes up for myself and others every year. Every single time he does it, he says “this furnace doesn’t have much time left” but then it works fantastic for another year. There was 1 time the a/c stopped working, in addition to after doing an inspection Hacksaw said he couldn’t maintain it… Fortunately he guessed a certified HVAC tech who did the task for him. Every time he says he can do something, he follows through. He has unquestionably tuned up in addition to repairing my a/c more than 2 other times, but the 1 time he couldn’t, he just confessed it. Even though he’s an outlaw in the world of air cooler repair, he has consistently done right by me.
