tough finding a good handyman

it is incredibly difficult to find a good handyman
many think they are, but do not know what they are doing
If you find one worth the pay, they are usually older
seventy years old and up
this might not be your experience, but it is ours
and we have employed a lot of handymen
more than forty I imagine
most of them “age out”
it is tough to lose them
some we say good-bye to in the hospital
after they have had a heart attack or stroke
or if they fall off a roof
it is tough falling off a roof when you are eighty-two
