REVIEW: Eric The Handyman

So, surprise, surprise: neither Greg or I are handy. Like, not at ALL.

We bought our closets at Ikea and paid someone to come and put all that shit together. I don't know what a "phillips head" screwdriver looks like, and could not tell you the difference between caulk or grout if my life depended upon it.

So, as we had a bunch of crap around our apartment that needed to be taken care of, we were recently in need of a handyperson...and we called Eric Rochow. Well, actually we Tweeted him (yep, he's just that cool people: @ericgardenfork).

He came by for the second time last week and: HOLY.SHIT. This dude can literally do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

Here is just a short list of all the stuff he did for us:

• In order to save us from a mice invasion, he searched and destroyed (i.e covered/plastered) all the little holes around our apartment, in kitchen cabinets, etc.
• Stabalized our wobbly dishwasher.
• Changed a lighting fixture.
• Fixed our kitchen sink faucet.
• Replaced a bottom section of our kitchen cabinets
• Came up with a solution for this big, gaping space underneath our front door.

And like 15 other things that I can't even remember.

Also, just because we didn't have him do anything major, don't think he can't pull out the big guns if need be. He told us that he often gets hired by people AFTER they've fired their incompetent general contractor (and needless to say, that happens a lot).

And as if all this shit isn't already impressive enough, the dude has got two of his own video podcasts! And adorable dogs! (see above--and no, that's not our place. That person obvs cooks waaay more than we do if their Kitchenaid Mixer sits OUT on the counter). OH, and he was one of a handful of people chosen by Ford to test out their new Fiesta car! And he knows how to keep bees!...fucking BEES!

Anyway.

If you've got anything at all around your place that you need a hand with, you should def get in touch with Eric pronto ( eric@handymaneric.com). Cause he rocks hard.
