Our Handsome Helpful Handyman!

Brent will gladly fix things around the house! He is more than happy to help! There is just one small detail that we are still working through regarding his idea of homefront repair!

Brent has decided he only needs one item in his toolbox arsenal. His equipment is a One-Size-Fix-All! Yep, Brent is there on-the-ready with Gorilla Glue to repair and restore!

Whether the job calls for nails, screws or spackle, Brent likes to give it the "old college try" first with Gorilla Glue! And surprisingly, it often works!

But the most insidious problem with Gorilla Glue is that it expands as it dries. Visualize a hardened beige ooze surrounding the periphery of any item that has just been repaired. So, the job HAS TECHNICALLY been done and it will probably hold... but the aesthetic look or "curb appeal" can be a little disturbing!

If #25 Alpine is in need of a quick fix and cosmetics aren't a big concern, then Brent is definitely the man/gorilla to call! But, when appearance is important, then it is probably best not to mention the project to him! And keep the Gorilla Glue hidden!
