Subject: RE: BS: Dad, teach me to fix things....
I was putting up shelves at my father's knee. No power drills then, braying a hole in the wall with a three cornered chisel was the way. A hole in wood?, red hot poker in the fire was easier than the hand drill. Technology has moved on, much is beyond my comprehension but that grounding in fixing things yourself was essential. I'm always still fixing things. How on earth do people manage who cannot?
