My wife marvels at the things I have fixed around the house. I rewired her favorite lamp after just a couple of dates. She said I was a keeper. The worst part is, I have enough junk in the basement to fix anything in the house. So, Yes, I am a keeper. (of obscure junk). And a collector of tools. And a cheap B*****d. We rented a house with washer and dryer. The dryer broke. I installed a new bulkhead rather than pay the landlord to do it. Saved us both a lot of money. The landlord started asking me to do his repairs.
