10 Step Guide For The Do-It-Yourself Handyman

 

·       If you can't find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the tip, it's an improved screwdriver.

·       Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.

·   Work in the kitchen whenever you can...many fine tools are there, its warm and dry, and you are close to the refrigerator.

·       If it's electronic, get a new one...or consult a twelve year old.

·     Stay simple minded: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see if the tank is empty; try turning the switch or just paint over it.

·   Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while taking it apart and it suddenly starts working, you have healed it.

· Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, and throwing sometimes DOES help.

·       If something looks level, it is level.

·       If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

·       Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, then it isn't stupid.
