My husband isn't the handy type, I am. I do all the repairs in the house. I have put in walls, floors, plumbing, ped boards on the walls in the garage, paneling in my sewing room, paint, wallpaper etc, but I don't mind. I don't know why I have a talent for doing a lot of things. I just look at things then I have a desire to do them. I own all the tools in my house and love working with them. My husband hasen't built me a sewing room but he has always supported me in my quilting. He buys me gift certificates for Joann's and never complains about anything I buy quilt related. He encourages me to meet with my quilting group which meets once a week for about 7 months each year. So even though he is not the handy guy is a good guy in other ways.
