I have a buddy that is super handy but cheap & lazy, then he never does the quality of work that he is capable of, and the guy can fix anything.
He is great in electrical, plumbing & HVAC.
The guy even worked for a building company for a few years, and in the end, he undoubtedly just wanted to get on disability & milk the government for money. His dream is to live without having to work, well he married himself to a nice older guy that takes care of the bills & he just squats at his house. The drawback to his dream is that he is at the home all afternoon. His partner keeps trying to get him to do handy stuff around the house. I saw his newest fix which was the height of laziness & just awful. The roof had apparently leaked to the point of getting a big hole in it. His partner wanted him to fix the roof or hire a roofing corporation. Instead he used a funnel & a garden hose to filter out the water from the house. He also put up a tarp over the hole. There, done, he said. Isn’t that awful? Can you imagine how cold the home must get in the winter? The water detriment in the ceiling that is going to happen? I talked to his partner & said that he needed to hire professional roofers. She keeps thinking his guy is going to step up & do the task. She can forget it; No way will he get off his butt & do the work.
