    Default handywoman.....missing a cape!!

    I did a few handywoman projects the other day. I am so proud of myself.
    1) caulking of tile in my kitchen
    2) adjusted the temp on my hot water tank
    3) assembled a firewood holder that has the fireplace tools
    4) replaced 2 parts inside the toilet tank

    Plus, I cooked dinner, washed clothes, paid bills, ran errands and took my daughter to the dentist.
    I slept real good!!

    Doesn't it feel good to knock stuff off that eternal 'to do' list in which you thought you'd need a man to help out? WTG!

    at first, I did it to show the DH that I can do some things. I was thinking it may strike his "ego" and he start doing more things around the house. I hope my plan doesn't backfire!

    you are an inspiration!
    I have several small things that I've been waiting to do because "I need a man"...maybe I need to rethink that and just get to it!

    Took the dead 120 gallon water heater out of basement last evening (DH helped). I miss not having easy access to hot water!
