I'm up there helping him clean the gutters.

You're a decent human being. Rare.

Hey, there's lots of us women who are handy around the house and yard! I can float sheetrock and use a drill with the best of them :o)

Heck I just changed the drain trap under the sink because I refuse to pay a plumber a couple of hundred bucks for a $10 job.

Heck yeah - in my alter ego, I'm Tool Chick.

Heh...me too. Except it was the basket assembly, or whatever you call the part that goes between the sink and the drain. Cost me a little more than $10, 'cause I had to buy the tool, but not much. First time I'd done a plumbing job at all, though, so I was pretty darn proud of myself! Silly, I know...

Why is it considered rare that a woman can do yard and handy work?
I never considered myself a tomboy, but I learned the basics with my brothers...

Some things I am not great at doing, but I love cutting fire wood, working in the yard, keeping the garden, getting on the roof to put up decorations and building stuff.

OK, that and I inherited my hateshousekeeping gene from my granny.
