Remember you are talking to the guy who had to take apart his vaccum cleaner with a butter knife. I honestly had no idea of tools and their working. Diane explained it and since then, I have progressed, my "tool box" consist of twist ties, duct tape, weatherstripping glue, wrench (dont ask me what kind, but the kind you use to tighten stuff with) and a Saw. I am very good with the Saw. Everything else is scary.
