| 432010 | 2006-02-19 02:56:00 | Ok carrying on from Mechanically minded thread recently....... was wondering if this also is a dying breed in the kiwi bloke lifestyle? I dont know many of these blokes any more, Can any PF1 guys say that yes they can DIY? renovating, fencing, fixing, not PC stuff...... physical stuff........ do you do this for a living? or for helping people? Do you have the time or inclination to do these things? Do you help damsels in distress syndromes? like the single lady or helpless person? Or even shock...a unDIY kiwi bloke... Do you own tools that are not PC related? I do, but i not a bloke! well not last i looked.....:p Hands up please, post here, ill take notes and let ya no, :p beetle |

| 432013 | 2006-02-19 03:04:00 | Husband used to be. Fixed cars, built woodshed, laid pavers and built brick BBQ, installed fireplace and Kent. Gardened, repairs etc. Just not a builder, well aprt from woodsheds... He's getting a bit old and slow now but he will be resuming at least some of it.... I think men should be able to do at least some of that sort of thing. Not into the poncy Ponsonby type that can't do anything. |

| 432016 | 2006-02-19 03:25:00 | Terry, that's put me off having pets again for life (and my late lunch!) Apart from the skateboard beetle I own the following: a chainsaw an electric drill a skill saw a plunger a tape measure a hammer that about covers any scenario... just got to get someone who knows how to use 'em :D |

| 432017 | 2006-02-19 03:41:00 | Erm, do any of the following fit into the DIY category? Using a bent piece of wire nailed onto the fence as a door hook. Making my own vertical toilet roll holder that holds three rolls. Making hooks from coat hangers. Or am I just plain cheap. (because thats what they look like) |
