New Orleans - Are you handy around the house? One group is taking maintenance work to a new level!
3000 maintenance technicians from across the country compete for 20 spots on the "Maintenance Mania" competition at the New Orleans Convention Center. They race against each other in 8 different events, and the person with the quickest time wins. This year's winner, David from Indianapolis, can change a smoke detector in 9 seconds!
Tony Cintron from New Jersey says it isn't easy.
"The hardest part for me was the fan," he said. "I couldn't get the blades in."
The finalists want to remind everyone to check the batteries in your smoke detector once a week and if you ever need anything fixed, call a maintenance tech!
