WorkingOnMe

Watching YouTube has made me more handy. I recently replaced the side mirror on my F150 which involved completely dismantling the door. YouTube showed me how but my wife doesn't need to know that

He worked as an independent contractor.
Very handy. Many people praised his work.
I took his screwdriver when I went to visit him in his rehab facility and he was very happy to see it. Told me I could keep it for him, along with his sweatshirt with his company name and logo on it, and his Thermos bottle and his little blunt box cutter and a gadget that is a magnet to detect metal, and his beer opener on the same chain. Hope he will be able to use all of these things again in the future.

My husband is only a little bit handy. He can do basic stuff.

One of the reasons we rent is we don't have to worry about repairs.

It makes me swoon when my husband lifts heavy things for me...especially with his shirt off.

As a man, I love to tinker on things around the house and will untiringly work on it. But when I start getting richly gritched at for attempting to do something that the lady of the house hasn't a clue about how to do, then I can become about as complacent as the next guy by telling her, "don't like how I'm doing it? Then call Sears! I've got far better things to be doing with my time!"

My hubby just fixed my car and saved us about $500. I'm so glad he's handy.

The carpet cleaner is completely disassembled in order to remove a shredded water pump drive belt. Score one for Bissel making a unit that's fairly easy to break down. Minus one for designing one that needed to be broken down to swap out one small (3" diameter) belt. There's another belt for the brush roller and this one, sensibly is a toothed belt. They should have made the water pump belt

YES!
Last week my hubby fixed a leaky toilet tank. Right now he's teaching himself how to change the brakes on our car via YouTube. I'm pretty handy myself. We helped roof my parents house and do all the landscaping together.

Not in the least, whatsoever, microscopically.

He is not into sports either.

YES my hubby is handy and it is a HUGE turn on. He can fix any car (just helped our son rebuild his volkswagen golf,,by helped I mean...DID IT FOR HIM pretty much)..the ceramic tile in our house is laid perfectly (on his first attempt) and five years later..not a crack in site..he put our windows in..saved us thirteen grand in labour on that one...

hubby is a millwright and an electrician. if it has a motor or any kind of working part..he is the man for the job..

HOWEVER (god i hope he doesnt read here..lol) he is NOT good with any decorating or finish work on wood ect..

if he paints a room..i always touch up the next day so not to hurt his feelings..and ONCE a few years ago he put up crown molding in one of our rooms. it looked AWFUL ..ever seam showed..and they were not matched up well..he used BATHROOM CAULKING to fill the short spots.. but i could not hurt his feelings...so i waited till three weeks later when he was out of town for two days for a union meeting..and i had someone come in and rip it all out and replace it properly..lol..he still hasnt noticed..
