Santa Cruz handyman

We have come to really enjoy visits by Steve and Lisa for any number of reasons.  But one reason which I'm still a little surprised about is their talent for fixing things and their ability to actually do so. 

Like the other night...  We were all at Ed and Tiff's house and shuddering each time their refrigerator was opened or closed.  The door made a horrible sound of metal siezing up so I was positive that the hinge was going to blow up in shreds any minute now.  Tiff and I were thinking it probably needed some lubrication be we weren't sure how to go about finding where it was needed.  Steven took a pair of pliars, decided it was the lower door hinge, and tightened, loosened, or bent back a piece of metal.  Voila!  no noise.

Today, he and Lisa used their time today to replace a leaking kitchen sink faucet. We left for a meeting with the friends of the library and  returned to see the new faucet in place.  What do you think?
