Once a girl has her own tools, the next thing today’s woman needs is know-how. Sure, it’s nice to have a handy guy around, but when he’s not, every woman should know these DIY basics:
• Tell the difference between a flathead and a Phillips screwdriver.
• Hang a picture straight.
• Use a cordless drill and select the right size drill bit.
• Plunge a toilet and clear a drain.
• Check a circuit breaker.
• Shut off the gas and the water main.
• Know why, when and how to use a molly bolt.
• Assemble a piece of furniture that comes in a box.
• Put up a shelf.
• Hang a window blind.
• Fix a loose door hinge.
• Repair a toilet float.
• Instantly change into a helpless female the minute a partner is around who can do all that for her.
