Mr. Fixit strikes again

[Mr. Kilt]

I'm another cheap bast...errrrr...frugal fellow. I hate paying someone to fix something that I can probably fix myself. Once in awhile I run into a problem that's beyond me, but normally I try to do things myself.

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.

Sounds familiar. We hadn't been dating more than a few weeks when she invited me to her parents house for Thanksgiving break. Spent the entire time breaking up her dad's driveway with a sledge hammer and hauling it to the dump in my pickup. I'm pretty sure her parents threatened to disown her if she didn't go through with the marriage.

I quite like plumbing - it is just so satisfying to install my own white goods, and sinks and things.

I like assembling flat pack furniture.

I put plugs on too.

Every Christmas I go over to our neighbours and set up the tree for her. I saw off the bottom of the trunk, drill a hole and insert the securing bit.

I do ours as well, of course. The silly thing is still standing outside, still green with its needles in place - it doesn't know it is dead.

You know how they say that a real friend will help you move a body?

I can crate it up and put wheels on.........
