Or do you need to hire people to do home improvement jobs and repairs?

I can do alot around the house, paint, strip wallpaper, put up wallpaper, fix alot of things- put together those pieces of furniture that have to be assembled. Hubby is pretty good- he is a plumber so in that respect he fixes things, he is very mechanical w/ cars & such. So is my son & 3 DD's. Cameron's Mom just installed ceramic tile in her bathroom & it came out awesome, other DD put up most of her garage door opener (was sick of waiting) !! lol


But, if hubby does'nt get on the ball & pull out those shrubs out front w/ the truck (his uncle even has a backhoe)-- I am gonna get out that chain & whip it around the shrubs & hook it on the back of the ram & shift it into 4-wheel- Low & floor it !

i'm handy around the house....even more handy than tim at times! lol but if something major needs to be done, my dad does it. my parents are our landlord, so technically they're supposed to do that sort of thing.
