Our middle daughter got married this summer and she and her husband bought a new house.

Both she and our eldest daughter are really good with tools and are unafraid to tackle any job around the house. I’m really proud of them for having learned those skills growing up. It’s important to teach your kids which end of the hammer to pick up.

Kudos to them (and you, for raising them with that skillset). I bet they know far more about powertools and home maintenance than Pajamaboy does.

Great point. I learned a lot of home maintenance skills and tips from my dad while growing up......maybe this is at least in part just one more casualty of the deterioration of the nuclear family....no dad around to pass those skills on.
