The Unhandyman: Misadventures in Fixing Things

By Vince Staten

Vince Staten got his unhandy abilities honestly: he inherited them. His father owned a hardware store so he could afford to pay someone to fix things right. Vince's first misadventure came in grade school when he built a bench for the neighborhood baseball team. When the first kid sat down, the bench collapsed. But that early failure didn't deter him from trying to fix things over the years. A persnickety toilet? He turned an Endless Flush into a Steady Leak. Build a boat dock? No problem until it floated away because of faulty mooring. His reconditioned sailboat sank. He has however learned how to change a light bulb. This book tells the stories of his many misadventures in home repair. His toddler son once bragged to his Grandma that he knew how to fix things: "You take a screwdriver and you throw it and you say, 'dammit.'" Where did he get that? This book explains.
