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:
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 .
Wow! So you are a technical guy too!!! :)

Technical guy! I am a mechanical engineer with expertise in welding technology. Next time you can consult me if any thing goes wrong with your gate and grills. :laugh:

Oh that's great!! Next time I have a problem like that, I will definitely consult you!
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
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 ..

That really must be fun! :) Even though I want to do it I never get an opportunity as my brother do it himself.

This is a matter of personal interest and hobby. The items like painting, gardening, electrical fittings need some skill, which everyone does not possess.
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:
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:
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.
Minor electrification jobs,carpentry and also plumbing job can be easily done , also with some trail and error it is possible to perfect it over a period of time.I see many people taking up carpentry and other interior jobs as a hobby which is very healthy and keeps you occupied in a very positive manner...

Same is the case of my hubby.......
If I ask my hubby for kitchen assistance for 1 day, he will say, "I know everything. I know to prepare dishes.....But if I do it for 1 day, then everyday I will have to do that. Why to take risk? :laugh: :laugh: "
But he helps me in kitchen if he is free. Today morning, he cut tapioca for me in kitchen
These days it is very common for people to get their household jobs done themselves :dry: . Be it fixing a shaking chair or table to painting up the walls to decorating your own walls with the tool kit :unsure: . There are several sites that gives you enough information on how to go about fixing anything ;) . This saves money, time from searching for the right person and the best part is gives you satisfaction of getting a new job done yourself :woohoo:
I don't have washing machine and all. I used to my clothes on the week end. :blush:
It's a good exercise.
But let me reveal one thing...I am lazy in washing clothes :cheer: :cheer:
I hate washing clothes so during the hostel days I ended up having a huge pile of clothes to be washed. The most irritating job I had to do myself ultimately every time. :huh:

Don't let him do any kitchen work else you may loose your job permanently and any pay you might be getting. He is not happy with your cooking but don't let him find an excuse to fire you :laugh: :laugh:
