Used in a sentence: "Despite having second thoughts once I learned that the word already exists in the urban dictionary as a cutesy nickname for male genitalia, I'm pleased to use this space to officially recommend the handyman who has been helping with the big projects related to this move that is*finally* *almost* *close* to wrapping up: aka Willter."
Ok, ok ... so his name is really Will (or Bill). But seeing as how this is the first move since the holidays of 1998 (this is the sixth one in those 16+ years) where Walter (and Dolly) aren't playing a direct role in helping to set up house (their indirect support is ongoing and always appreciated, of course). That means the projects that Walter used to handle (i.e. building Demon his own room back in the day, driving the mega moving van across four states, rewiring the overhead lighting, installing a dishwasher, building a deck, etc., etc.) had to be reassigned.
Thanks to a recommendation from the new landlord, Will has become Walter this time. He has *almost* as many stories, and does thorough, excellent work that seems to take twice as long as originally planned (the right kind of problem to have, mind you). But, at the end of day four, a new microwave and an old dishwasher and some new shelving and the aforementioned deck have all been installed, with a storage shed to be built in the days ahead. (Not to mention the things he sees along the way and fixes ... just because.) And the best news ... it's all for a very reasonable price -- which, is admittedly a change, as we only ever had to pay Walter in meals and tractor-based activities.
So Willter, you're not a "willter" in our eyes ... and we're pleased with the work you've accomplished (and will be completing soon)! And Walter, the original, don't worry ... we'll still find a request or two for your next visit (in the fall?) ...
