BY FEMALES, FOR FEMALES, (and men with a sense of humour)

A lot of my female friends are pretty damn handy when it comes to fixing or making stuff. If you're a female (or a male using a female's name) who knows how to do Handy 'Manly' Stuff', then I'd love it if you'd post your Handy Tip here. For example? Car Maintenance: Things You Can and Should Do Yourself; How to Build a Shelf; How to Lay Flooring; Fixing a Leaky Faucet...that kinda stuff.

PLEASE, NO MALE BASHING. This blog is not for man-haters.

HANDY TIP #8

Don't waste your time while painting.

I hate edging and it will stop me from painting for years so instead of spending time wrapping tape around door frames and windows, I bought this little number at the hardware store.

  1. The proper tool for the job really makes a world of difference. It can turn hours of fiddling, cursing, and stress into a pleasant experience that leaves you with a fine piece of handiwork to be proud of.

    When I first got started with my chainmail, I had some miserable pliars and it bogged me down until I picked up a really nice set. Now I've had these for about eight years and like them so much I picked up a backup pair in case they get damaged/lost.

    Same with web design! I spent years avoiding WYSIWYG development tools and sticking to hand-coding everything. But, now that I've learned the tools and can use them properly, I'm flying through things that would have taken days in the past.
