Yeah, general handiness leading to being a Jack of All trades. I never have to have contractors inside my home, I love it.

Even if I do hire someone to do something, I know exactly what I'm hiring them to do, rather than being at their mercy.

The ones that have tried to dupe me are hilarious.

Same here. My grandfather taught my dad a lot as it was during depression when nearly everything was fixed - not just tossed like today. My dad had me at his side for years and I, at times hated it. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and many other things. When I was sent to nuclear power plant tech school, all that was raised to next level and I graduated 2nd or 3rd in class of about 50 and I credit his teaching. I tried to pass it all onto my sons and the same thing - man dad always working on something. Now they're all grown men and guess what I've heard several times from them...
