Can verify. My boyfriend is a dad. He helps me fix things all the time! (Blown ballasts, tires, fans, spa equipment at work) Soon I will inquire about instqlling a new garbage disposal.
My dad could do all the things. Preparing his garden, buildings sheds, simple pools, extended roofs, a deck, kitchens, modifying his RVs for decades. Now when I asked him for help with my kitchen he drilled a hole into the water pipe, couldn't fix that and spammed me with calls until I got home. And also broke a cupboard 👍
Idiots.... just buy a new one.....OBVIOUSLY. ok yes now this is the part when y'all tell me not everyone can afford a new lawnmower. OK FINE!!! So just go a few blocks over and steal one.
But... stealing one from your neighbor is better for the economy. You save money for stealing, they get to buy a brand new one. Maybe even make an insurance claim. Putting a lot of people to work. Salespeople, insurance adjusters, Walmart self-checkout machines. They would get a brand new upgraded lawn mower, you get their old one, and that in itself is like recycling. So really if ya want to stimulate the economy and save the planet.... just steal a lawnmower from your neighbor.
My entire family used to call me for everything. My dad had stomach pain, called me. I have a bs in engineering. What the f do I know about medical stuff? (Turned out he was having a reaction to a new medication. Took me like 5 minutes to Google all his meds and their side effects)
Biggest thing I look for in shoes is the what the soles are made of. Vibram one's are usually a good bet. I also tend to get zero heel drop shoes as they have no midsole or almost no midsole, which ironically is better for my back. When shoes wear unevenly for me it messes up my back real fast. Going from forced heel-strike walking that most shoes encourage to more of a mid-foot walking reduces shock delivered anyway, and replaceable insoles reduce shock too.
makes me miss my Dad. He couldn't fix jack shit. However, he was always there when I needed him. From the time I was 3 years old, fixing things was my job.
As a dad who had a great dad I’m really sorry about your dad. If you weren’t an internet stranger that likely lives nowhere around me I’d be happy to be your ‘dad’ 😃 I’m sure you’re a great kid
Yeah, nah, mine forced us to watch how to replace brake hoses while the neighbors kids parents took them to the pool because hurting us was the best way to legally hurt his wife.
Nothing like getting a ten minute lecture about wasting electricity for leaving the pantry light on threatening to "break into your house one day to leave all the lights on and walk out".
But hey, boomer dad was an only child and getting *everything he ever wanted* growing up was just so goddamn rough. /Rant.
Yea, but he thinks the vaccine is fake, Trump won 2020, only black people steal hellcats (so they can run from cops), oh and the lgbtq community is a plague in the US (even though gay people helped him through his divorce. Oh and he is a cop. So yea, I do have a dad... technically.
I have a half disassembled toilet (I was trying to install a bidet but the plug twisted off WITH the hose, and I don't have tools) and I wish, so badly, that my pap was still alive. He'd bring his tools and make me do it while he taught me. But when he passed, my mom stole EVERYTHING. Y'all, he had like 15 10mm sockets. Proof in my post history. But yeah, my mom is a bitch and I miss my pappy. 😞
Nah this girl don’t need a dad, I just replaced a sump pump yesterday, and it involved measuring and cutting pvc, all while standing in an inch of water.
I usually have to do major surgery on the mower every spring. My drill is used often. Socket set is used more, but most used tool of mine is profanity.

Battery mower FTW! Spend that saved time playing billiards or new home projects.

It’s the carb. It’s always the carb. Just spray some carb cleaner in it and start it. You may have to spray while starting to jump it

If you can afford a house you can afford a lawnmower… but fixing things yourself certainly saves a ton of money you can use for other things

Serves as a wrench too with the right bits. Not a great one, but work on small shit like a mower.

Gotta put speed holes in it somehow!
jaxonwithanx
Though an impact driver would be preferable, a regular drill will work fine for taking bolts out.

Think he meant because it still had a drill bit on it.
