Let's share LP's worst Handyman stories. Nominate a fellow LPer, and describe the work that may or may not have beend one.

The only place I could find to rent right off the bat was an older mobile home (believe me, I got out of there as soon as something else came up!). The mobile home was old enough that it had the trailer-style roof vents, the ones that you crank open and closed with a turn handle. The first time it rained I discovered the vent in the kitchen had a pretty bad leak. The next morning, I dropped by to see my landlord and told her about the leak. She sent her handyman over to take a look at it and to fix it. The handyman was a great guy, an old timer who was just about the friendliest guy you'd ever meet. But his handyman skills were a little... weak. I got an ambulance call and had to go, so I left him to work. When I came back, I went to look at the repair job. He had gotten one of those disposable tin baking pans and had caulked it into place upside down over the vent opening. I do have to admit it didn't leak. I went back a week or two later and replaced it with an actual vent.
