My name is Michael Cale, I am in the process of starting up my own business called Cale's Hammer N Nails: Property and Auto Services. The plan is to get enough clientele that my boys can help expand the business. Currently my oldest is helping me on jobs and gaining experience along the way. Im out of Afton, TN on the north side 8 minutes from I-81. Im willing to travel for my services and I feel my pricing is fair across the board if not better. Currently looking to work out of Greeneville, the Tri-Cities area, and Morristown. Can go further out if needed too. I also offer hauling with my pickup I have if someone needs materials just picked up and delivered also or if anyone needs moving help from home to home. I look forward to serving this area with quality you deserve at reasonable prices.

"I can’t say enough good things about this junk removal company! They came out quickly and hauled away a large pile of debris from my property with no hassle at all. Professional, efficient, and courteous from start to finish. Special shoutout to Alex Williams—he went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Friendly, hard-working, and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s not every day you find someone who makes a not-so-fun job feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend this crew—especially if Alex is on the job!"

"I hired Aiden to essentially clean up an area of my backyard that had caught a lot of unnecessary articles in the past years. He is absolutely a great worker! And the job itself was completed within hours! This young man is professional and will be using him in the future! Very great job and he was affordable!"

"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
