I grew up as my dad's handyman's helper and now I'm the maintenance person at the park. Carpentry, mechanical stuff, plumbing, etc., I do a bit of all of it. My co-workers call me "the machine whisperer". I find it hilariously amusing that I am a much better mechanic than my male co-workers. And Kendall once showed me how to fix my neighbor's dryer. The best part about that was the colorful language I learned, lol.

As for how to teach your daughter-in-law, start by letting her watch you and hand you tools. Tell her what you're doing as you're doing it, and why. It's how my dad taught me, and how the maintenance mechanics for my region still teach me. They tell me they don't mind coming to our park because I always ask them to teach me how to do things and then they don't have to come back for the same thing time and time again.
