For you locals...I have to tell you about my handyman Russ...he's the best there is. We've called on Russ to fix everything that's gone wrong in our manse for over 15 years. He can fix anything too...plumbing, electrical, tile, rip out walls, build decks, etc., etc. And, if you call Russ, to say, fix a light that won't work and he asks for a new light bulb and you think to yourself, what an idiot, of course it's NOT the light bulb and then it turns out to be the light bulb...well, he won't tease you about being stupid...just yesterday I called him because our water heater was not working...it's one of those tankless jobs and he came over to look at it and asked me if I had pushed the GFI...what's a GFI you say ? A ground-fault-interrupter....I learned that from Russ...and nope, I hadn't pushed it...so he did...he walked into our bathroom, pushed the little button and just like that the water-heater was working...but did he even for a second look at me like I was an idiot?!? No sir! He might have thought it but he didn't show it!
He's honest, fair and does a great job...so if you need a good handyman and you live in the Seattle area - give Russ Klenke a call: 868-0906.
