This is a funny, insightful book written by W. Bruce Cameron, who is right up there in my book with Dave Barry as one of the funniest guys in the world.

Be the hit of the party. After browsing the book, you'll want your own copy, so buy two. And ladies, you might even want your own set of power tools. You'll probably even put them back when you're done using them, a novel idea.
Love the title - need to read and pass on to every female I know. After 24 years I have learned remodeling has to come from within.
ReplyDeleteI have always had my own tool kit, though not pink. My dad was quite the handyman and I followed him around, learned a few things. My husband is nearly the polar opposite. If something needs fixed I am usually the one working on it somehow. I replaced the heating elements in our water heater this year, and several years ago fixed our washer.
