Do you like doing DIY jobs around the house ?

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.

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:

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

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:

who said, he is not happy with my cooking :evil: :evil:
He is excusing my every mistake only because he can't get such nice dishes from outside. ;)

He can't be wrong when he shares lunch with others in the bank because he finds others lunch boxes better than his own. :laugh: :laugh:

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:

Hi mercury, welcome to the site :) I too have come across many such sites which give you helpful details as to how you can do things by yourself and also save a lot of money and hours ( when you have ti wait endlessly for workers to turn up ) when you do minor jobs around the house ..

Take extra care from next time. You have stated across your point now we must come back to the original topic of discussion.

From the contents of your post I guessed that it was a mistake, not spamming or intentional...

Generally system blocks a duplicate post if hit continuously besides such posts come one in a row. Once a post appears after the post one can see his post as well.

I have had this happen twice in the recent past where I have posted duplicated contents because the system here is still being tested and at times you have a lapse which make us press again since we dont get to see the post...

I think admin can note this idea for blocking such double posts. Since this site is under construction, he can implement it easily now.

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.

It is a lot of fun to do stuff around the house.I and my daughter are now making a patch work quilt , for which we have been collecting pieces of material from all over the place.We stuck upon this idea when we happened to see a beautifully made patch work quilt at a handicrafts exhibition which cost Rs 6,000 / :huh: , so we thought we could try making one,though it may not look as professional as the one we saw....

I could never ever post a duplicate after posting more than 9k posts as system always blocked my effort saying "the system blocked your duplicate post"

Even i faced that situation. So have to go to the post and edit it manually. Also there is option for deleting your own post. Can moderators do that too....

we can't delete our posts Puneet, only moderators or admin can delete it.
Better, we can edit them......
If we have posted something, just wait for a minute. Many times, while I was typing the same message again, I have seen my posts appearing in forum. Now, this site is undergoing construction. so, such problems may rise.

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

Many people these days take up short term courses like pottery,Tv repairs,carpentry and even gardening....It comes in handy and one is putting ones time into proper use instead of whiling away on something that is not productive !

Thanks Guys with so many responses, I actually feel being heard on the forum.

I am more of the creative type so I mostly do the job of interior decoration for my house. ;)
I am very active during the festivals especially Diwali , house decoration is completely my department. :cheer:

That's nice, otherwise most youngsters these days don't give a hand in either tidying up or anything else to do with the house keeping .....House decoration is a lot of fun besides giving you ample scope to be innovative ..

I think its good to do our own work.It saves money it will give a little exercise to our body.Instead of depending on others for house hold work it is better to do it on own.

Yes i am also on the same page. Though we can't do all the work but atleast we should try. I am also into electrical fittngs small issues which can be sorted out by ourselves...

Exercise part is even more important than saving money.By cleaning our house including sweeping and swabbing by going on all four we get to exercise the whole body and our limbs remain flexible, so also hand washing clothes and gardening work which is an excellent exercise for our entire body !
