Oh by the way, you’re giving me hope, I have three little girls and hopefully someday the fourth will be a boy!!!

Very funny, thanks for the shout out, I’ve always enjoyed “putting things together” as you said and I am an active part in all the interior design choices in our home, it’s fun. Thanks for the laugh.

Maybe I missed it through my first read through but you left off one of my favorite parts, the use of power tools! Until I moved down, Jenn and I would assemble her Ikea furniture manually, and anyone who has done so knows how tight some of their screws can get halfway in. Now I bust out my 18v Black and Decker Power Drill/Driver and have the screws done in a few seconds each.

Also, back from my college days, we would have a work weekend every semester where we’d clean and fix the fraternity house. Beyond just painting and mopping, we’d put up dry wall, refinish hardwood and tile floors and even rebuild the occasional bar. We also learned that instructions can be invaluable, especially when working with electricity, hence our electrical box dubbed “Hoyt Killer.” Don’t worry, he didn’t actually die; he just got a good jolt, twice.

Glad you all enjoyed the post so much. Also nice to see all those guy’s names on these comments – thanks Wes, Ethan and Gord.

And who’s to say I haven’t already grown a Selleck-inspired mustache? :)

HOW did you know how much I love Tom? Was this post just for me, John? You know, you could come to the gym more to do some of that manly stuff, too. (=

Great post! Good to hear other guys supporting interior design as something we men can do as well! (As a side note, my wife actually admits she needs my input!!)
