His father is very handy and he thinks he is too since he's watched his father fix and build things his whole life. I think it's the same affliction that makes you think you can do something if you've watched enough YouTube videos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023945 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:11:13 +0000 Smurfette 1023945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023890 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:48:06 +0000 mrs. bird 1023890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: OMG, DH cannot put together furniture either! i have a desk with a backwards front and a TV stand that he used the wrong screws to put the top on with so they came through the top- you'd think when it happened once he'd stop and fix it so the others didn't, but no, all 4 screws tore through the top of it!</p> <p>DH is a beautiful soul- but he couldn't build a patio to save his life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023871 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:41:52 +0000 PurplePumps 1023871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we do all the work on the house together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023531 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:45:36 +0000 avivoca 1023531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both fairly handy. There's things he won't tackle though, like electrical work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023522 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:43:57 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1023522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he is :) Last year he built a cabana w/ a bar in our back yard. He also landscaped the entire back yard and is finishing the front as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023513 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:41:18 +0000 Andrea 1023513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha. I think DH had used YouTube a few times, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023278 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 08:18:31 +0000 swurlygurl 1023278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it is half amazing/half a pain in my butt. He is ALWAYS doing projects with his dad. It's great that we don't have to pay someone, but my goodness it'd also be great to spend some time with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023271 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 08:17:02 +0000 pui 1023271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023269 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 08:14:44 +0000 mrswin 1023269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super handy with all home repairs/improvements and maintains his cars. I consider myself pretty handy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023218 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 07:57:13 +0000 Honeydew 1023218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is the least handiest man ever. I'll give him credit when he does try. </p> <p>I'm the one who puts furniture together, he's the muscle man. It would take him forever to put things together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023209 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 07:54:04 +0000 Reese 1023209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes-very. I am really handy as well. We handle most projects ourselves. We also have close friends and family in almost all of the trades.. so if we get stuck/don't have the time or know how, we have someone we trust doing the work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023205 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 07:52:18 +0000 MapleMoose 1023205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's getting really good at it now that we bought a house :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1023159 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 07:28:17 +0000 MrsTiz 1023159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! very much so.

I have to fix most of the stuff. He used to be a plumber and always tells me a plumber doesn't fix their own house. Well great... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022338 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:16:23 +0000 rachiecakes 1022338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all but he does do the dishes and vacuum. And he takes care of the pets completely.<br /> But sadly, he can't even put together Ikea stuff. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022329 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:14:28 +0000 MrsH 1022329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very. He finished the basement in the last house and maintains his own tractors, truck, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022248 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:57:24 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1022248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He's a plumber by trade and has a lot of experience working with his hands behind just for plumbing. It's definity helped save on home improvement repairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022247 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:57:23 +0000 Cherrybee 1022247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he's very handy. It is a real bonus, he can do most things around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022181 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:48:15 +0000 Chocoholic 1022181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he is very handy. I am so thankful we have been able to do so many renovations around the house because of his handiness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022071 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:35:19 +0000 teamjse 1022071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Dh learns everything on YouTube too. I wouldn't say he's naturally handy but he's all about learning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022049 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:32:51 +0000 Sophia 1022049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is very handy. He finished our basement on his own, and we're almost always working on a project together. He also friggin loves tools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022035 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:30:23 +0000 spaniellove 1022035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he's taking tomorrow off to finish his deck refinishing project! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1022011 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:25:11 +0000 Andrea 1022011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: oh my gah! that is his next project. i can't wait for him to stop talking about it!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1021702 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:39:04 +0000 deactivated_account 1021702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yo u girls with handy men are so very lucky. My guy's not handy at all. :sad: But he's so many other things so I don't complain too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1021660 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:35:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1021660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

It's weird for me because the men in my life growing up (dad and brother) aren't handy. So when something breaks, my first reaction is call someone to fix it. DH's first reaction is to go to home depot to get the stuff to fix it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-so-handy-around-the-house-2#post-1021541 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:20:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 1021541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I think I'm just as handy. </p>
