Busted torsion spring on garage door yesterday.  Called a company I found on Angie's List/BBB.  He showed up the same morning and was done in like twenty minutes.  Works like a dream.  Pewpewpew -- handyman-ed!

I don't think calling a handyman counts as handymanning.  That's more like stevedaving.

Just realized the Woodworking Show is at the OP Convention Center this weekend. I'll be going tomorrow and I'm afraid of what I'll buy. Cats.

Anything over 20 feet is a great excuse to rent a boom lift.

Fuuuuuuuck working on those torsion springs, worst DIY thing I attempted.  Everything was fixed at the end, but I legitimately could have die multiple times because I was a dumbass.
