I wish I had known this stuff, or at least hadn't been afraid of it, much earlier. <sigh> And I wish I knew more about sewing, too. Seriously, a home ec class, cooking and sewing, for boys and girls, and wood shop too. And use of tools. All in school. That way Peter could do his own work instead of paying someone to do it (if he wanted to) and it wouldn't take me an hour to hang a mini blind. Susan: Home Depot. Cheap, but from a distance they look fine. Not snarky at all, Kyran, and you have an excellent point. I wish I had known this stuff, or at least hadn’t been afraid of it, much earlier.

Truly. Why didn't they teach us about power tools in high school? Something really useful? (although grade 8 home ec class did come in handy last night when I discovered I needed to sew two french berets by morning) love the banner. xo I hope I can express this without it coming off as snarky, because I really mean it:

To me, doing it myself means going to work to earn money to pay someone else to do it. I have no talent for any DIY stuff.
