I do just fine, Dread - can paint my own walls, hang my own drywall and if I had a carpet stretcher of my very own, could lay my own carpet. I learned all this growing up in and around houses that my stepdad and aunt would remodel. HE taught me how to do some of it, and SHE taught me how to do the rest of it without breaking a nail!!

In early gradeschool I remember drawing on blank drywall with a marker after it was hung and before it was primed and painted. When they were re-remodeling a house that we had lived in during its initial remodeling, they found all sorts of drawings on the inside of the drywall that had never been covered up.
