Again, yes, very glad, raised that way and would not be comfortable hiring folks all the time. Too many lazy unskilled "do you want fries with that" people out there.. I am amazed at the number of folks that give out "code" to someone to fix something in their house while they are not home..

James Taylor sang about being a handyman.

James Taylor sang about being a handman.

I think a handman is different than a handyman.

I can almost picture the look of a realtors face when I tell them to find me a house where the restroom is a option and not a requirement.

You might need the restroom if you want to be accompanied by a member of the female gender. Unless you want to be a "handman"

That would be the Libertarians. They want the government to perform the functions listed in the Constitution, and let the citizens live their lives with a minimum of governmental interference.

I take the US Constitution seriouly. We are no better or worse than any other country, except we have this brilliant doucument how to govern ourselves civiliy.
I get really sick and angry how NPR (national public radio) labels the far right conservatives in Germany as NAZIS

Naｷzi
ˈn舩sē/
noun
plural noun: Nazis
historical
a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Note Socialist German Workers' Party sure seems left wing to me.
Socialists are tolerant in general., I.e. letting the citizens live their lives with a minimum of governmental interference.
You wouldn't be allowed to pee in your yard, or fix something without a permit, You would need to contract an approved "professional"

Yes, the framers of the Constitution had uncommon sense - they stuck to their principles. Of course, they HAD principles!

Came in handy last night. The part that seals the bottom of the exterior door when closed has been an issue for many months. My wife had picked up the right piece and I used my DeWalt 20v drill to remove door, lay it down, trim bottom to accept new piece, put door back on, too tight, removed door and worked over some more, reinstalled door and all is well. That would have cost $100 probably to have someone come out and do it for us, and they would not have located bottom seal, but likely would want to replace whole door or some other expensive deal. Steel door with wood core is heavy, will need to remove it this summer, sand edges and repaint door... will add deadbolts also to exterior doors.

Please note, I no longer lend my tools out (except to immediate family). I last loaned a sheetrock lift to a friend at church. He finished his project, but did not return the lift and got all pissy when I left a message asking him to return it. Sometimes folks just don't get it, I bought my tools and it is not okay for you to store them or loan them out to others when you complete your project.
