Blessed With A Mr. Fixit

My hubby can fix anything! He's working on his 1953 Chevy Handyman Wagon. This is his car. He uses this or his Harley to go to work. He's a sufer so the wagon carries his boards well. The motor in the Chevy is on it's last leg, but he's patching it up till he can find another motor for it(cheap). He's always been very good with money. Right now he is working on my dishwasher. It needs a $150 part, but he take it apart about every 6wks and fixes it. He has to melt plastic and form the part. Again he amazes me. Thru the years (35) we have never had to have a repair man of any kind. He does the plumbing and electrical work too! Again I say I am BLESSED!!!!

I would say you are too. Remind him how lucky you are to have each other often.
When we first got married. all my Dh knew how to do was pull out the C.C. to pay for it. lol He's getting better around the house, but will never understand how cars work

my hubby does most of the work himself also. we have had to have a couple of repair men but he always stands there and wathces.lol never had to pay for the same repair more then once. he is a maintance supervisor, so if he cant figure it out usually someone in the company can.
you are truley blessed!

You're so lucky to have a husband like that. Every time something need fixed around our house my husband's response is, "Let's call the plumber". It could be the roof, car, or something equally nonsensical, and he always wants to call the plumber.

How lucky you are! Mine used to be that way, but now he can't seem to remember how to do anything. Must be an age thing?

I am also blessed with a handy man. I always tell him he is as handy as a pocket on a shirt. I swear that man can fix anything. I am so glad we don't have repari bills. I am truly blessed with a really good man...

Your Husband sounds just like mine! They are wonderful guys, aren't they? I love that my husband can do so many things, and I have learned some things from him too. I seem to be better with electronic things though.:-)
