I know this sounds like a joke, but if we can keep our minds out of the gutter for a minute...
After my father passed away, my mother lived alone for a few years. All the widows shared a few handymen. Minor home repairs, maintenance, etc. All paid with cash. A good handyman could be as busy as he wanted to be. Mom said she never found anyone as good as dad, but the handymen enabled her to stay in the house for a few years until she moved to a senior citizen apartment complex.
