[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 267366, member: 3907"] Lisa, you're a more patient woman than I am. If my husband did that, he'd be lying dead on the bathroom floor, while I stood over him fixing the faucets. I'm with Witz on this one. My ex-H was notorious for this sort of thing. I wanted to take my bicycle into the repair shop for a spring tune-up one year. After ex-H got finished "fixing" it, I had to pay the bike repair guy about $75 to correct the fix, instead of the $10 for the spring tune-up. He once dismantled my washing machine and left the parts strewn all over my living/dining room for MONTHS. After the repair guy's verdict (deader than a doornail. You'll need a new unit), I just didn't let him fix stuff anymore. I am eternally grateful that husband is handy, but I've also learned how to do all sorts of household repairs (including laying a floor and hanging new kitchen cupboards), just so that I don't have to rely on men. Harumph. Trinity [/QUOTE]
