Bathroom project: 2; Handymen: 0

John and I have a bathroom project we've been trying to jumpstart for a couple of years now. One handyman who did some work on the house before we bought it told me that it would take about two days to complete the project and he briefly told me what it would involve. I called him some time later and we set up a date and time for him to come over and give us an estimate. Said appointment came and went with no sign of him. We called him again and rescheduled and he didn't show once more. A year has gone by since that time and we've found a new handyman. This time, we set up an appointment for him to call us to set up a real appointment (don't ask), and he failed to deliver. That's the thing about handymen: in order for them to be handy, they actually have to show up. Otherwise, they're just men with skills.
