Which do you like to do less, house maintenance, or vehicle maintenance?
Which do you like to do less, house maintenance, or vehicle maintenance?
I actually enjoy working on my Jeep. The house, not so much.
Ditto. I'm a mechanic, not a plumber, carpenter, house painter, or electrician. I hate appliance repair, too.
I'd rather spend a weekend doing drywall and tile than spend 2 hours changing oil.
i can generally figure out a car. I can't figure out the right way to put a screw into a wall without causing teh whole thing to crumble around me.
Just so there is no question, I started this thread specifically so I could whine and complain. I have the honor of being covered with power steering fluid and tile grout at the same time all day.
[ROFL1] No offense, but I can have both vehicles oil changed in 1/2 an hour. In the snow, when it's cold, when hung over, with a 9 year old peppering me with questions about what I'm doing every 2 seconds.
But you may be able to frame a window in in a half hour and it would take me two hours.
When working on vehicles, I wear a pair of nitrile gloves, then some sort of mechanic type glove over the nitrile. The mechanic style glove protects me from most cuts, bruises, burns, gouges, etc, and the nitrile keeps all the oil off that soaks through. Make clean up a lot easier.
Bahhhh, I just use the "protective coating" of a powdered donut.
