if i had to choose one or the other...i would choose smart.

my hog is the way to controlling the remote in my house



i don't get this thread

if a guy is smart enough... then he can figure out how to be handy


i bought a house 4 years ago

since then i've taught myself to

replace the seal on the shitter
replace a different shitter entirely
replace the busted trigger on the shower
hang a chandelier in the dining room
hang a 2 lights in the kitchen
catch a squirrel in the attic
replace the doorbell
install a bathroom fan/light
you get the idea


before i bought my house i had no idea how to do any of this shit

but when you need it done... you figure it out... there's instructions for everything on the internet!

now... my wife wanted new canister lights over the island in the kitchen along with a new switch... that I couldn't do so we hired someone


anyway... i'm going to stop rambling


what did you mean by handy?

Ladies...do you have a preference???
Let's say you really dig this guy...he is cute, hot, whatever.
But he isn't the smartest guy...
But, he is really good at fixing things.
Would that be good enough for you?

yes, for short term -- or if you want some free remodels.

no, for long term.

By handy I meant what you said you learned how to do.
My husband put some recessed lights in the ceiling, though. It is like being on a cooking show when the dimmer is on high.
Ok, I am not giving him enough credit. His heart is in it, but he just doesnt follow through or read directions.

Without sounding completely sexist...Do any guys? In my own personal experience, I don't know a single man who does read directions. But, like I said...that's been my experience...probably not true of the general public.

My experience is the opposite...most guys I know DO read the directions. I'M the one who doesn't. This could be the reason I get frustrated and give up easily.

Yeah, my dad refuses. Trying to install my a/c unit was a nightmare. He wouldn't even LOOK at the instructions so it took a hell of a lot longer than it needed to.
