My handyman is also named Hacksaw; then well, that isn’t the name of his birth certificate, I suppose, however it’s what everyone calls him.
I have no plan for what his real name is, then even on his business cards he just has the name Hacksaw.
He is simply what our dad would call an “Old Time Tough Guy.” Hacksaw stands over numerous feet tall, and is sculpted from rock-hard muscle. To our know-how Hacksaw is not licensed or bonded as a business; however, he’s the first person I call for any electrical, plumbing, or heating and air conditioning troubles. I am well aware that heating and air conditioning techs need to be certified, and I am equally aware Hacksaw does not have said certification. Hacksaw is a “good outdated boy” who is a lot smarter than he seems, and he has always given excellent service for our heating and cooling needs. My apartment has a legitimately outdated natural gas fuel furnace, which Hacksaw music up for myself and others every year. Every time he does it, he says “this gas furnace doesn’t have much time left” however then it works wonderfully for another year. There was one time the air conditioning stopped working, and after doing an inspection Hacksaw said he couldn’t fix it… Fortunately he did think about a certified heating and air conditioning tech who did the job for him. Every time he says he can do something, he follows through. He has actually tuned up and repaired our residential air conditioning numerous other times; however, the one time he couldn’t, he just divulged it. Even though he’s an outlaw in the world of a/c repair, he has always done right by me.
