Welcome back to the Handy Ma'am Hotline! This week Mercury talks about which project is more pressing: peeling paint or peeling laminate floors. Mercury and Maggie have mixed thoughts on which should come first, what do you think? Mercury also tackles a slow draining bathtub with an unresponsive landlord, a door and frame that needs to be replaced, and how to cultivate a positive "Fix It" mentality when home maintenance can feel so daunting.
