That was my first (late) husband. I used to cringe every time I saw him handling a screw driver (left handed to boot). His father passed away when he was 5 and he grew up with his mother and grandmother - no man about. I grew up at the ankles of a plumber who made darn sure I knew how to handle hand tools and graduated to power tools - and of course the perennial favorites - duct tape and baling wire which no girl should be without. Dad also taught me first two things you NEED to know about plumbing - stink goes up, $hi! goes down :) My husband is a lot like my father. Cut from the same cloth. Love them both, but one of them is driving me nuts at the moment :)
