No, but I take that as a huge compliment. Our first and now second house have both been fixer uppers. Lots of nights and weekends fixing or watching YouTube’s. Plumbing is something I actually really enjoy (I think it’s all the pieces so it’s like adult legos). I hate electrical though - I have large hands and just fumble with the wires.

That is a handyman.

The reason it begins to smell is because it is not draining properly. Water will eventually make it up hill when you backpitch a pipe, but it leaves behind the gummy stuff like toothpaste, oils and soap. This sits in the backpitched pipe building up and closing off the drain. The smell is because it is decomposing right there in your drain.
