Most of my male friends are tech geeks who can kick my ass at some handheld Nintendo game, or extoll the intricate details of some new OS they installed on their nineteenth server, but can barely change a tire. They are baffled that I own a reciprocal saw and know how to use it.
I've got a bunch of my dad's tools and know how to use most of them. It seems to frighten my male friends when I tell them that I need a 5/16 nut driver to open a panel or something like that.

I live in a three bedroom three bath house that is always needing something repaired.

Electricity doesn't scare me but huge garage door springs next to my head while I'm trying to unjam the garage door track does frighten me and wow do I hate bugs crawling on me.
