Insured? I am not sure what you mean. Insured for replacement if this handyman blows up your house? Insured if he falls off your roof and breaks his leg?

Dont know about your state but out here in Kalifornia that "handyman" can not legally enter into a contract for more than $500. I dont think you could get much done to your house for that. And, of course YOU would have to pay his his with-holding and payroll bennies , you know unemployment insurance, worker's comp, social security..... is that something you would do, I mean LEGALLY employ this "handyman" as opposed to hiring a qualified and established builder?

As far as the beer cans scattered through your yard, my feelings on that (although I havent drank in 25 years) beans come in a can and beer in a pitcher and anything any different is just wrong! LOL
