I was watching some Yankee movie last month, the young gal was dating some guy and talking about marriage. The mom said to the dollie, "Well, is he handy? Can he change a light bulb?"

I built the custom log cabin that I live in, and, trust me, custom log work is three times harder than frame, and takes three times longer, and I did all the wiring myself.
Wiring a log cabin is a bitch and most licensed electricians won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

So, yes, I guess I am "handy."
