Do you like doing DIY jobs around the house ?

I have painted windows of my flat. Sometimes my father do the work of a plumber and electrician at home. Rest other domestic work is done by me. This is usual.

We don't have servant in my house. We only used to do our daily routine jobs.

I noticed that most of the electrical problems are due to minor faults such as fuse problem, short circuit caused by connecting the live and neutral wire etc. So, I have learned to look out for these minor problems and repair them myself. But I still call the electrician for the bigger problems

My brother also used to rectify some electrical problems and Television repairing like that.

True there are many small jobs in every household, where we were dependent on different people even if we could do them with a little bit of effort. Now those people are having no time for small jobs or asking for so much service charges that doing them our own self is saving time and money. Like changing a washer was plumber's job, now I do it myself.

I do small things like cleaning table and inner garments, shoe shining, shaving myself. If we devote more time to doing everything self, our main work in which we specialize will suffer.

Yes, I like doing fix-up jobs around the house whenever things need mending. In my house, I am the one usually wielding a screwdriver and a hammer, more than my husband, he hates them! :lol:

This is a matter of personal interest and hobby. The items like painting, gardening, electrical fittings need some skill, which everyone does not possess.

I even fixed my router day before when man from service provider was not available. This is fun to use my laptop sitting in dining room in place of routine computer table where socket of the broadband is fixed .

Yes, that is true! But in reality my husband possesses a lot of talents in all these things. He can even teach an experience carpenter a thing or two, but he hates doing small jobs!! Give him a big project and he is happy, but not the small ones, thank you, they are for the wifey!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Yes I too do that :) like extending wires and taking a new light connection from an already existing one through a wire and a holder and such minor works which is not difficult at all...I also like painting windows and even walls which can be fun since you get an opportunity to experiment with different shades ..

LOL, most men love pottering around the house.In our place we had a work table fixed on one side of the garage and added a few shelves so that my hubby could do all his work there.Later he wanted it extended and a few more shelves added and there was just enough place for the car.Finally now, the car remains half outside since the garage is filled with his stuff which is ever growing.Now he wants another garage built for the car so that he can have the older one as a work shop...Once people start doing things on their own they get completely immersed in it !

I think you are my mother.
She do every job..her hands reach everywhere.....even electric wires or electric motor.....cable, repairing small things etc etc....But my father is not at all interested. May be because mother is doing everything :woohoo: :woohoo:

Here labour is very high...so, for cleaning grass on the courtyard, I will do it maximum....thus saving 500 or more. It's a good exercise too!!! If we are able to see such tasks as exercise, we will really enjoy it. Save a little money too!!!
