| | Rules for handymen(0r women). YOU ONLY NEED 2 TOOLS IN LIFE, WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN’T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
Now you can repair anything. |

| | Re: Rules for handymen(0r women). True, True, True! My driver side mirror is currently attached by duct tape and gorilla glue.Two plus years strong! When my son was a baby, we were given a ripped up stroller. Duct tape fixed it up real nice! LOL We always said all we need is duct tape and bailing wire.Re-attached quite a few mufflers with bailing wire! |

| | Re: Rules for handymen(0r women). Great rules Doug. My dad always said if you can't fix it with a hammer, throw it away.

It is truly the answer to most problems. |

| | Re: Rules for handymen(0r women). Keoma,when there are no bandaids handy,duct tape masking tape and any other tape available,plus crazy glue will all do fine,oops and paper towels. Speaking of bad cuts, my daugther is a nurse and can't stand bood,when I got attacked by the bandsaw,I came running into the house with my finger wrapped with a paper towel. My wife was in her sewing room and I caught my daughter by the bathroom and told her she had to wrap my finger,so that could make a trip to the ER. Well she darn near fainted and hollered at my wife to come and take over,it's a good one this time. I ended up with so many miltary words that I can't use on site about how much time and money spent on her nursing career. So a big one for the handy person's list should be a first aid chart and smelling salts for the weak of heart.
