A typical homeowner has lots of micro jobs piling up around the house. Maybe an inaccessible light bulb is blown out and you don't have a tall ladder. Maybe you want to install a dimmer switch and you're not comfortable around electricity. Maybe there's a dead mouse in your trap and you're too freaked out to deal with it. You can come up with a long list of jobs you'd rather pay someone to do for you, if only that person were easily identified and reasonably priced.
