  To my bucket I also carry a few zip ties, a short section of wire, electrical tape and an old peanut butter jar filled with a few random screws, wire nuts, bolts and nuts.

  You’re bringing tears to my eyes, reminding me of my dad.   He could fix anything, build anything, machine anything.  He was such an inspiration, and so are you.  You’re doing an excellent job in training up a new generations.

  My aunt Gladys doesn't call me for minor repairs anymore because, as she exclaims, "$200/hr is ridiculous."

  First circular saw cut is in the parking lot of Lowes so you can get the wood into that Geo Metro!

  The last bit of advice at the end I need to take to heart. I get frustrated every now and then fixing everyone&apos;s problems, but in reality I think most of the folks I know use it as an excuse to see me. I should just be grateful that I have friends and family who want to see me, and that I can be helpful to them.

  One thing you missed is what I call my dad called his miracle box. Mine It’s a small parts bin with an assortment &nbsp;of hardware, screws, nails, wire terminals, nuts and bolts, wire nuts, washers for taps, wall anchors, picture hangers, etc etc etc. &nbsp;This box has save me countless trips to the box store.

  My mom remarried late in life to a really great guy. &nbsp;I&apos;m pretty handy but realized quickly he had a lifetime of experience and look on him as a mentor. &nbsp;If he did something, &nbsp;I decided I would copy it until I had something reason not to. &nbsp;I rarely have a reason not to. &nbsp; He showed up to help with his bucket of tools and I decided I needed a bucket of tools. &nbsp; Every kid who moved into a house got a bucket full of garage sale and discount tools to get them started (and insured I had a basic tool load out any time I visited). &nbsp; Love a bucket liner.

  Maybe I missed it but a screwdriver (those multi bit ones are great) is an absolute must
