The Cheap Handyman

True (and Disastrous) Tales from a [Home Improvement Expert] Guy Who Should Know Better

This Old House meets #HomeImprovementFails in this collection of laugh-out-loud essays, perfect for fans of Nick Offerman, CarTalk, or The Red Green Show.

"This book is all the fix-it you need for your hurt home improvement ego." —Harrison Scott Key, Thurber-prize winning author of The World's Largest Man
Meet Brian Harris, a (mostly) retired, self-proclaimed jack of all trades with a penchant for DIY and inventive money-saving schemes. Armed with a soldering gun, his trusty nine-foot ladder, and of course the handyman's secret weapon—duct tape—Brian's projects start out as simple chores: trim a tree branch, stain the cedar siding on his home...but all too often they end in costly disaster.

Sometimes he's trying to do the right thing, like the time he wrecked his pool while saving some baby ducks. Often, he channels his inner MacGyver: he once taped his hockey skate back together so he could finish his rec-league game, only to get suspended for falling on the referee when it broke (again). But usually he's just being, well, cheap! Like the time he inadvertently destroyed a $295 car key fob because he wouldn't pay the (outrageous) $10 fee to have the battery professionally replaced.

In The Cheap Handyman, Brian anthologizes his hard-won wisdom, teaching us how (not) to cut down a tree, what to do if a stray cat has kittens in your HVAC system, three very incorrect uses for duct tape, the manifold hazards of pool maintenance, and more.

Filled with unforgettable true stories from the everyday life of an average guy just trying to save a few bucks, The Cheap Handyman is a delightful tribute to anyone who has ever thought, "Sure! I can do that!"

Anyone who's wielded even a hammer and screwdriver will giggle and/or groan at Canadian author Harris' 49 episodes of fixing cars, homes, motorcycles, and more. Harris' tales of ""been there, done that"" could perhaps also be cautionary tales to wannabe or self-professed DIYers. On the other hand, they'll provoke head-nodding and chuckles. Harris' handyman adventures include what to do when the removal of a tree branch damages a car hood, or when your puppy chews . . . and chews and chews. What happens when the air conditioner is two inches wider than the window it's supposed to go in? Or when a newly laid hardwood floor starts to buckle? And stealing does happen, especially when there's no lock on the trailer. And so on. The word cheap in the title links to the end of each episode, where Harris explains (probably in Canadian dollars) the original estimate and the actual cost for each repair.
