25.5 on things I can do.
It's only 4 points if you had asked about things I wanted to do.

[kingsnthahole]

I gave myself a 6 based on my ability to do alot of those things, i can't repair a car, or build a house, but i can do alot of mild repairs to house and build some things...

lets hear why everyone rated themselves where they did!

7.

I did the gardening ones, ive cut things, mowed things, and at 14 i was humping rounds rocks in the back garden for my mum with pebbles and soil making some kinds of features.

Ive also installed a piece of hardware. Badly.

[markjfixit]

I have done all of those and alot more but some were not my idea so my score would change.

All of this is true too! So now what???? I am a woman!!!!

[KaciBlakely]

I am not very handy at all. I totally said 4 because I am girl. And that's all I could say with two points. lol.

[area206]

I have to admit I am not handy at all. I am a 28 year old man that does not know how to fix things. My dad never really showed me anything but how to play sports. I do happen to like Jesse James though but I know that I will never be anything like him as far as fixing anything. Is it wrong to have my girl fix everything??? I dont think so.... When she was preggers with my son, I worked and she put everything together in our apartment. ie: entertainment center, crib, dressers. So I just let her do all the work. Once in a blue moon she will ask for my help, that is only if she needs muscle or needs help moving things. I would say I am pretty useless, lol...

Hey..

Iven if the birds will drink coke all day long and get lunatic..
Weel done.
Lovely job.

[BnLM5]

Thank you very much! We have made several of them. I posted only a few. I love the Coke one. We gave it to my daughter as she collects Coke. You can really get creative with this kind of thing. (Making birdhouses.) It is very relaxing.

[thejuanupsman]

I can't fix ****. I gladly pay someone else to do it right the first time.
