Here at the Handy Ma'am Hotline, Mercury takes your questions submitted to 608-205-8768 via voicemail and text messages. This week she answers questions about a sink backing up into a garbage disposal, fixing cracked ceilings in a condo, how to prioritize projects as a new homeowner, removing popcorn ceilings, and how to talk to your landlord about a damaged counter that can't be repaired.

Want your questions answered too? Give us a call! And text us a picture of your kitty cats for an extra bonus, haha!
