I'm my dad's mini-me and my dad is super handy. He's 10000x more handy than I am, but growing up, he always tried to include me in all the repairs he did so I knew how growing up. It's part of the reason why I can be so independent sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899113 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:54:13 +0000 avivoca 899113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm decently handy. I like to be able to fix my own stuff. One day, I'd like to build something from scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899111 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:53:59 +0000 MapleMoose 899111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH seems to be impressed. We just bought a house and I guess I picked up a thing or two along the way. I seem to be holding my own so far with repairs and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899104 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:51:04 +0000 BSB 899104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Yeah, I'm sure when we buy a house I will want all sorts of tools but a saw is not one I'm comfortable in using. I do like that Home Depot will cut wood for you for free. Or make a few free cuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899089 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:47:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 899089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I put together most of the nursery furniture while he was at work. He was home when I put together the glider, though, and kept offering to help (because I was cursing at it a lot) and I kept throwing things at him, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899083 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:46:42 +0000 BSB 899083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I'm handy. I put together all the Ikea furniture. If something is loose, I'll find a way to fix it. If something is broken, I'll try to figure out what's wrong with it so I can go find the replacement part or find some way to fix it. </p> <p>I use our tool set more than the DH. DH can do some stuff but I'm good with finding easy cheap fixes. Also, DH doesn't have the patience like me.</p> <p>If there is someway to fix it without having to trash it and buy another, I will find a way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899082 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:46:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 899082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty handy! My mama is the handiest person I know, so I had a good role model :) DH, on the other hand...not so much. He is a good gardener, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899047 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:40:21 +0000 swurlygurl 899047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty handy. I put together all of DD's nursery furniture while DH was taking a nap one day. I couldn't wait for him to wake up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899023 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:34:03 +0000 Dandelion 899023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but not very strong, so I can do anything that doesn't involve much heavy lifting. Like you, I'm really good at following directions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899015 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:31:32 +0000 Navy_Mommy 899015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very much so. My Dad is always super impressed with my latest projects, lol. I can put together stuff, fix stuff, build stuff, refinish stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-899001 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:27:38 +0000 BananaPancakes 899001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super handy. I'm scared of saws, though, so I wouldn't be able to build anything if I had to cut my own lumber. But I can repair almost anything. I am the Google + Youtube queen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-898996 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:25:35 +0000 heffalump 898996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be more handy when I lived by myself. Now DH does it all for me so I lost my touch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-898982 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:21:06 +0000 MrsKoala 898982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put together all of the furniture in our house that needed it. My DH is not allowed to touch anything like that. If I can't do it, my little sister can. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-898976 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:19:13 +0000 regberadaisy 898976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are way handier than me!!!!</p> <p>Thank god DH is very handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-handy#post-898963 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:16:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 898963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm passably handy...or at least good at following instructions, lol. I put together all of the nursery furniture and all of our Ikea furniture and set up and install things like our video monitor. As soon as E goes down for a nap I have to replace the toilet tank lever, chain and handle and the toilet paper holder. Once we move to a bigger place I'd love to try my hand at building some of my own furniture!</p> <p>Are you handy? </p>
