He laid flooring in E's room and built shelving and is working on installing all new floors in the rest of the house now. My Dad was not handy at all, and there were a lot of repairs in our house growing up that didn't get done because no one knew how. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440835 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:29:08 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 440835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was never handy in the past, and then he found out he was having a SON and wanted to become handy to set a good example...very fun...for the past 15 months, he has been "fixing things" and basically insisting on doing things that I used to do...assemble furniture, little repair stuff, etc. Even though I have been more handy, now he wants to be the handy one. We'll see how this works out in the long run, lol :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440822 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:26:07 +0000 Alivoo01 440822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of, but he's always interested in learning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440366 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:48:20 +0000 Smurfette 440366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, thankfully! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440181 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:15:42 +0000 Ash 440181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Thank goodness cuz he has pretty much built the whole inside of our house and he'll be doing our garage too. It helps that he's a tightwad. Hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440115 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:34:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 440115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He learned a lot of it from his mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440079 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:36:51 +0000 littlek 440079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha.. Not at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440074 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:30:17 +0000 stargal 440074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, it comes in handy to! Him and his dad built his home together by themselves, tehy did everything from the foundation and up themselves! it amazes me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440040 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:27:45 +0000 MrsTiz 440040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is extremely handy. I'm so envious of how quickly he can pick up things. He was a huuuge help in renovations on our house and built half of the furniture in it. He can do anything, and if not he'll figure it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440039 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:26:58 +0000 MamaMoose 440039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. He can't stand to pay someone to do things around the house. We are lucky that one of our best friends is a professional carpenter/general handy man so he comes and helps if something is above my husband's head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440035 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:23:12 +0000 oahujeni 440035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say he "likes" it, but he doesn't hesitate to work on things around the house if something needs to be done. Thank goodness for google and youtube so he can learn how to do things as they come up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440002 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:32:34 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 440002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. He could probably build an entire house if he wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-440000 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:32:15 +0000 DillonLion 440000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Very handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439998 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:30:11 +0000 London Mama 439998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than handy, semi-professional I'd say. He's renovated several houses including ours and is the kind of guy that puts together Ikea furniture without using the manual. Makes life easier when something breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439990 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:27:14 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 439990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is pretty good with most things. Somethings I'm just better at then him and it pisses him off lol. His back has been really bad so he hasn't be able to do much of anything. I let him do what he can so he can still feel like a man. Other things he has learned to either let me do it or call our contractor who is my coworkers husband. He will come out and do just about anything for us for cheep &amp; we always over pay him. His family hit hard times last year when their daughter was born at 28 weeks, he scratches our back we scratch his. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439920 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:56:27 +0000 mlm2934 439920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I wish he was lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439914 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:48:34 +0000 heffalump 439914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is. Its weird for me because my dad cant fix anything, they always hired someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439909 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:43:25 +0000 BelugaBean 439909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves to figure things out on his own. His dad was like that too. If he isn't sure how to do something, he'll do research until he feels confident that he can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439907 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:43:10 +0000 Andrea 439907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, he can fix stuff. If he doesn't already know how, he'll google it. It saves us a ton of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-1#post-439903 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:39:53 +0000 autumnlove 439903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your SO like to work on things around the house?</p> <p>DH isn't too handy but he wants to learn so we can save money. His dad is going to help him with DIY stuff! </p>
