I Love Having a Handy Husband!
Friday, June 11, 2010 Posted by Aleksandra Nearing
I just love having a handy husband around the house, and mine can do just about anything. Adam installed crown molding and fixed the dishwasher after it flooded. He wired a new outlet in the utility room (hmm...maybe I need to get him some good life insurance). He caught the flying squirrel that invaded our attic. He built a big, beautiful trellis for my climbing plants. He's climbed on the roof countless times to try to fix a leak (REALLY need to hurry on that life insurance!). He built us a lovely deck (it did take 4 years to complete but who's counting? Oh...I am!). He's done so many other handy things that are simply escaping me right now so I'll stop this long list.
Recently Adam decided to build some drawers for our walk-in closet. The closet is great and has a ton of built-in open shelving. I'm not sure exactly what spurned this project - maybe he was getting low on other household tasks and wanted a new challenge - or maybe I nagged about his clothing piles looking a little rough around the edges :) Regardless of the motivation, we now have two drawers each AND I have a new drawer for all my makeup! I believe this did take several Home Depot trips, many hours, some spilled paint, and who knows what cost...but it was well worth it for a happy wife and a satisfied do-it-yourself husband!

It looks great! I have a handy husband too. It certainly makes some things a lot easier.

Lucky woman. My Dad was like that, but not my hubby.

I love my handy husband. He not only fixes things, he remodeled our kitchen, made us a master bedroom suite and added on a 4th bedroom. I wish we were going to continue living here.

IT sure is nice to have a husband that can fix things. How are you doing?

I would love a big closet with drawers!
I don't know what I would do without my handy husband...my dad is handy and I always thought all men were that way, not true! We are lucky!

My Dad was handy like that, so when I got married I just assumed my husband would be too! Well, he was pretty good, but through the years has gotten even better at it as I kept telling him, "Oh, you can do/make that!" Guess he didn't know if he could until he tried?!

That is really pretty! I wish hubby could build - I'm sure he could if he tried, but he never tries... he's good at fixing old trucks though :)
