I've never been much of the handy man type...not too bad with guns, archery equipment, and minor automotive...but not

much else.  I did install a water heater once, fixed an air conditioning unit, and helped demo and install flooring a couple of times by

following someone else's directions so  I guess I'm not totally hopeless.

Today I fixed the kitchen sink drain (thank God for You Tube videos) and feel like someone beat me with the adjustable pliers I used...I almost had it done

when one of the nuts cracked (mine felt like they would) so I installed a flexible extension kit I bought just in case and so far things are holding together.

In all honesty the hardest part was getting on the floor and back up again! :rotfl: old-man/cane

I have to be me; no one else wants the job!

Praise God and Pass the Ammo!

I've got to fix mine, but I keep forgetting to pick up the parts  :giveup: old-man/cane

I dread getting in the floor and having to get back up.

DEL,

I hear you about getting up off the floor.  I'm waiting for a small in-house fork lift before I get back down there again.   :emocrazy:

Good thing you didn't have to use a monkey wrench.

Good ole nut-crackin work, huh.  Yeah... it's mostly for the birds but it's kinda neat when you've been puttering for years and years to look back and see how many things you've extended the life of yourself.  Whether the job was neat and tidy or looked like a sow's ear, it extended the life of something.  

Glad you were able to find a workaround when your nut cracked... man does that sound painful or what!!  :yikes:  That's the defining point of a true handyman... don't get put off by little things like a cracked nut or a bent tube or a bad back... :biggrin: you know what I mean... you get back on the horse and find a way to get to the finish line... even if you have to crawl!  :clapping:

Congrats to the handyman!!  You done did good! :great:  

I know your sweetie is sure glad you finally got off the floor.  

You were hell to do dishes around!  :lmao: :rotfl: :budy:

When the sink breaks I suddenly get the urge to be somewhere else.
In a  gunfight, inside a burning building,falling out a plane without a chute ! ::Amen:: :blue thumbs up:

Boy, do I hate getting under the sink. Talk about a temper tantrum awaiting to happen. Did you see fireworks?

Yeah, I still think I'm pretty handy.  I know I can fix allot of stuff so it's easier than getting someone else to do it.   :giveup:
