Growing up, my Dad was never the most handy guy. I know a fair few people who's dads are also not handy guys (which is why most of them just called in a professional, see here for more information). Not to say that he isn't capable, just that working with tools was never really a high priority on his list. He's more the phone a friend & "supervise" kinda guy. I remember always having family friends come by to fix various things around the house & bringing with them the most fascinating tools. I quickly became the one who'd hold the flashlight & learned so much along the way. I guess you could say my extended family of DIY Dads probably taught me more than I would have learned having just the one...lol! But when Father's Day came around I was never the girl you'd find in the hardware store looking for gift ideas.
