I have a brother in law who was in the middle of doing a one man remodel of my sisters main bathroom when she and the other girls got on this conversation.

As a contractor, I priced the remodel at about $15,000, he did a roofing repair while I was there, he drove a 40 year old pick up and kept it alive and cheaply repaired himself, he was a scout in the Army and served as a pretty good body guard and security guard for the family. Every time he fixes a leak, or the ice maker, or just about everything that he does there, is much more difficult, usually impossible, for her to duplicate, than for him to duplicate what she does, in fact at some point or another he does do everything that she does, but you will not find her under the house, in the deep cold mud, in 30 degree weather, fixing a broken water line.

These lists are stupid

There was a TV movie a while back, Mom's on Strike. If I was the scriptwriter, I would have loved to insert a scene where the striking mom walks up to her door, which is answered by a cute South American girl who greets mom with "Hi! I'm your replacement".
