My hubby is a field service engineer and yes he has to travel. He's always home on weekends. Normally he isn't gone over 4 nights in a row. Before he went back to school he was quite handy with tools he was a heating and air person and an electrian.

No traveler here..... the only nights that dh has ever spent away from home was when he came to see me in Nashville (when we first started dating) and the few times that we have been on vacation.

He is very handy with the tools though.... working on cars and remodeling, etc.

My dh isn't a travelling man, but he's VERY handy (I'm serious he has lots of tools and can do lots of jobs around the house)

Mike isn't a traveling man, and if you give him a tool, he can usually find something to break!!

Joe doesn't have to travel with his job.

He is very handy around the house though, when he has the time.

Mine travels but is usually home every night. Unless he has to go pick up some trucks or something. Not very often. DH is athe General Foreman over SC for his company.
Hany- yes, the only thing he can't do is BUILD something, everything else he can do.

DH does not travel for work very much anymore but there were times in the past where he would be gone for weeks working on building houses in Seattle or somewhere else when work was slow here.

DH is a carpenter and he is very handy with tools. The only bad thing about that is that he likes to borrow mine like my Sawzall and my power screwdriver that rotates in different direction. The boys already took over my Black and Decker regular power screwdriver. Oh yeah, and he can fix cars too!!!! Chris takes after him and has helped build a pole barn with our neighbor and has been busy making flower boxes and cold frames with all our power tools and regular tools around here.

my hubby is a teacher, so he doesn't travel very often...unless you count field trips! he is VERY handy with tools!!! he will NEVER call someone to fix something unless it is WAAAYYYYY beyond his abilities. he works on our cars too. he can even do remodling......at our last house, he finished the basement, AND put in a new bathroom where none existed! (i think i'll keep him!)
