Well then.

While I certainly am far behind many of my friends and acquaintances in the Home Repair category, I seem to have at least acquired one or two points in it, since I just fixed faucets in all three of our bathrooms.

Simple fix -- the handles were coming off, and in one case, the faucet was leaking because the handle was coming off. So off I go to get the hex wrenches, find the right size on the first try, and fix five faucet handles so you can no longer just pull them off with your hands. Go me.

Awesome! It just takes practice after all, and you're getting that. :)

Indeed. Today I got practice tightening door handles. "Hm, the handle to my closet is loose." *stomp stomp stomp downstairs for the screwdriver, since the one on my knife was too bulky*

... now that I have tightened every door handle in the house except for the ones we've installed, I've discovered that the one in the guest room has a stripped screw and a non-matching handle -- they must have allowed the previous occupant to install one with a lock.
