| A phrase coined in the 1970s usually hyphenated in North America and abbreviated to DIY in the UK - interpret at will (or should that be interpret to Will?) |

Eye figure I can save some cash by doing my own Lasik surgery.
But, just in case, I should probably learn to play piano and harmonica and reserve the domain nname of Stevie-Ray.com |

This theme reminds me of my DH. He's sorta like Tim The Tool Man Taylor. Very much into DIY -- with lots of yelling and cussing. He never follows the instructions because he can do it "better." So, he waaaay overengineers every project. Then doesn't have time to finish it.  Many times, my son and I finally dismantle the unfinished projects a couple of years later, because of safety concerns.
My favorite handyman is Red Green. "Spare the duct tape, spoil the job."
I agree. As a woman who runs a horse farm on a tight budget, I rely heavily on duct tape and baling wire, as do many other ag types. So pervasive is this custom, note the tongue-in-cheek warning on this 'assistive technology for farmers' page: http://agrability.okstate.edu/newsletters/Spring2004newsletter.html#Wire |

| An obsessive craving for roadrunner meat, along with a sky-high credit limit with the Acme Company (how DID he get the money to pay for all that stuff??) drove this crazy canine to tackle untold numbers of do-it yourself projects like this one... always with predictably disastrous results. |

Try finding a professional to do this job for you...
Well, it's self-sufficient in a primitively sustainable kind of way. |

Although the Leatherman is a useful piece of kit, it is still a pain to carry around on your belt for those on the hoof repair jobs. Some practical bod has invented the 'cleavage hammer'. As long as you can keep your woman nearby, your universal adjuster will be kept readily to hand (unlike asking her to put it in that handbag/purse) and also take the chill off it.  |
