I knocked down a wall in my apartment. Now I have a 6" wide, 8' high floor-to-ceiling gap in the den. I need a drywall magician to, uh, fix it. Downtown Toronto. If you're miscellaneously handy, I also need a bathtub faucet replaced, and laminate sink surround fixed/replaced. If you also paint, you're my superhero.
