He's a multitasker! You don't have sex while doing a brake job? Your missing out!With all the stuff on his list, I doubt he even has time for sex.
Dude my back injury solved this problem! Sux if you married but if you can just pick up someone tell em you have lower lumbar issues so you can't do the work.True. I gave up sex about 15 years ago. It required too much of my time and energy.
Or possible "The most interesting man in the world" from Dos Equis.
Actually, I did do that, but it was 19 years ago.He's a multitasker! You don't have sex while doing a brake job? Your missing out!
Always blows my mind the amount of sand were based on. Most people I know with nice gardens in the city dig up and dump the sand and fill it with good dirt. Not sure if you can still do that though. Nice pics though.I thought I already posted this response, but it seems to be missing. Maybe I didn't click on, "Post Quick reply"? Anyway, it went like this:
One woman said of me, "The busiest unemployed man I've ever known".
But, guys, this is just a long list of handyman chores and a couple of special interests. I'm sure many of you could make a list like this if you counted back on your whole life.
So, when the sewer pipe collapses, you have to install a new one, even if you have to dig up the garden to do it. But I did manage to save most of the crop.
I gotta disagree. Those were different times when stuff was manufactured to be repaired now things are manufactured to just be replaced. So the DIY stuff has suffered a lot in that aspect, that and many times a part for what you fixing is almost as much as buying a new one.What you will notice here is that most of the responders are ol' timers who have at least 40 years of lifetime experiences and DIY tasks under their belts.
Whether it is electrical, electronics, automechanics, home appliances, woodworking, plumbing, gardening, no task is a barrier.
Take notice young fellas.
What these guys have is a can do attitude and always willing to learn a new skill and tackle something different. These guys are resilient and will manage in any situation. Age is no barrier.
So what's holding you back?
That's why we manufacture our own stuff now.I gotta disagree. Those were different times when stuff was manufactured to be repaired now things are manufactured to just be replaced.

We use the internet and topical forums as the shop class of our timeAlso schools now don't put too much attention to shop classes, ag, etc...
Excellent point. But some things got easier. For example, we can make very sophisticated systems with a myriad of programmable devices which greatly simplifies the process, and that our fathers didn't have.Also when you've grown up with things that were simple and became a lil more complex each year its easier to work on since you've been doing it 40 years. For new guys to look at a technology thats been evolving for 50 years is a lil intimidating. Do I spend 5 years catching up on my mechanics skills so i'm up to par to do an engine swap? Or do I learn new technologies of my era?
