Ah, girl, you can do all this stuff just about as easily as a man can. I've got a lot of guy friends who've helped with "home repairs" over the last few years (I put that in quotation marks because I live in a van) and watching them, I almost always think to myself, "Oh. I could have done that. I just needed to not be scared of breaking things." and I hate to say it, but often they make mistakes that I saw coming. There's nothing magical about the Y chromosome that makes all that stuff easier for them!

Anyway, I bet someone else left a comment just like this and it's my bad for repeating because I didn't scroll down...but I'll just add my voice to theirs if that's the case - you can do all this stuff by yourself! Or, pay someone. The energy you have to put into a man so he's around to do this stuff really costs more than a professional repairman does.
