Top 10 Countdown of
why your question may not have been answered... |
10.) |
The question is too general making it impossible to give an
accurate answer. |
9.) |
The question is too difficult to answer without writing a
novel. We'd like to, but don't have that kind of time. |
8.) |
The question covers too much territory. Sometimes the answer
is go to the library and get a book on the subject! We also have a book recommendation page in association with amazon.com that might
have what you need. |
7.) |
You may need to consult a professional.
There might be some danger involved (electrical shock, explosion potential...), that would
put you at risk. We would have to provide pages of safety advice... before answering the
question. |
6.) |
I'm busy sitting on the deck with a cold German beer and watching
the sun set with my wife whom often complains I spend too much time on the internet. |
5.) |
I (or the other visiting handyman) simply don't know the
answer to your question. |
4.) |
This is a hobby for me and a free public service for you. I don't make money
running Ask a Handyman. Sometimes my work and personal obligations are
simply too great to make it here and answer all the questions. |
3.) |
I have 5 children ranging from 17 to 3 years old. They break
a lot of stuff around here. |
2.) |
Maybe this site is too big of a project for me to take maintain
by myself. (I have a bad habit of over committing my personal time...) |
1.) |
The site is being redeveloped and it is
possible that not enough resident handypeople have been located to keep up with incoming
questions. I'm working on that! |
