Home repair videos on youtube are your friend. Speaking as someone who isn't particularly handy, for most basic tasks those videos actually save time and money. In my experience working with professionals to fix something as basic as a running toilet is an expensive time vampire hassle.

Well, we don't have a formal contract yet, but received word from our realtor that our offer has been verbally accepted.
Fortunately, I am handy enough that I can fix a running toilet. I'm not much more handy, though.

Re: Random musings
My dad is not handy so when I was growing up I literally got this speech: "Michael, get good grades and a good job so you can pay other people to do that stuff"
To be fair, my dad he didn't have youtube to help him navigate household issues otherwise I would be giving the exact same speech.

Re: Random musings
Do people really call plumbers for a running toilet?

I call repairmen for everything...I hate working on things. Blood pressure goes up; wrenches get thrown. Better off paying someone.
