      I had a dad growing up my parent's are even still together but he worked so much he was barely home and didn't teach me things or when he was home didn't have the patience. So I had to figure things out. I am glad for UA-cam these days. A long time ago you either had to figure it out or go out there and try and if u mess up you hope a neighbor comes and shows you lol

      Yes! And for women whose dads or husbands knew handy homeowner skills but didn't share the knowledge with their children or wives 😁. I didn't grow up with a dad around and my husband didn't enjoy teaching stuff like how to use a saw, a drill, fix a leaky sink, or change the weed eater string. Once I became a single mom it was UA-cam that has shown me everything! Now I love building projects and fixing things 👍🙂
