I'm historically completely useless at DIY... Well today I removed, fixed and replaced a door handle, replaced 6 light bulbs and hung 4 pictures :D I have started my quest to earn more man points and not be a complete girl round the house.

So go me, that is all. :D

I'm afraid the replacing light bulbs shouldn't count.
My mother could do that, well she could if she could reach the light fittings. The rest is valid and you should be proud!
 
minus man points for having to point out your activities. Real men say nothing and are just happy with the job they did and the knowledge that they did it ;)
 
You have passed the basics. Next... Level 2.

What's level 2? :eek:

I'm actually tempted to see if I can sly on the basic wiring course they do for the technicians at work so I can do plugs and the like.

I need to do the back gate next (remove and refix it) feeling all pro, may even buy a toolbox now :p

Level 2 is not as hard as you may think....

Level 1 = Replace a door handle, Replaced 6 light bulbs, Hang 4 pictures.
Level 2 = Wire a plug, Paint a wall, Put up a shelf.

:cool: :D

I've helped paint a wall once so I've at least started on two :)

Is assembling idea furniture on any level? :p
 
This year I earned glorious man points from the following.

Replaced the belt in the tumble dryer
Fixed the frost free freezer that started icing up
Replaced the element in the oven when the old one broke.
Replaced the light bulb in the oven
Opened up my ex's laptop when it stopped charging and resolded the DC charging port.

most modern men would have just been women and bought brand new ones

and I Survived the flu without moaning
