I also blame my dad.  He didn't know shit about cars.  And because he didn't, he wouldn't let me work on anything because he assumed I didn't know anything either.  He ignored the fact that I drove an old truck and all of my friends drove old shitboxes that we had to work on constantly.

My dad had to fix everything. We didn't have a lot of money.  I've inherited that trait. I will spend thousands on tools to not have to pay thousands more in labor.

You can reuse the tools. You can’t reuse the labor.

Want me to change the oil in your car?
Little Problem: I've had practice in Jeeps.
Same thing when it comes to changing tires.

Want me to install Internet in your home?
No problem, I do it for a living (almost, since I now work in an AC office.  Still Qualified).
Want me to do serious work on your Vehicle?
Pardon me while I get the Yellow Pages out.

A mans got to know his limitations.

Pay someone $1k+ to do it or do it myself for a couple hundred bucks? I chose the latter.

So am I.

I also have a strap that has a tiny LED Light on your forehead.  
It is very handy when your hands are full and you need some light where nobody else can shine a light.

My mom bought a house and is putting her house up for sale.  The house I was brought home to when I was born.  I'll have to go there soon and get what I want before the rest is sold off.  Bittersweet.

There's no way I could afford it.  Unless she died in the next few weeks which I'm not advocating.

Bittersweet indeed. I never had a permanent childhood home. Lived in far too many base houses.

My best friend bought the house I grew up in and then changed a bunch of interior walls.

Kinda weird to see sometimes but I'm glad they're making it work for their family.
