I always thought if people couldn’t find what they liked or
have a champagne taste on a (craft) beer budget like I do they just build or
make over something to fit their vision. Stereotypical Man’s Work and Woman’s
Work never existed in my world. It has always been You Have Two Hands And The
Job Needs To Be Done So Do It work.
Do you know who I have to thank for this?
My Dad.
My Father in law too.
Collectively Husband and I call them The DIY Dads. Without these two men in my life, I wouldn’t
be the person I am today. This post is my tribute to them and their Father’s
Day gift. Well, part of it anyway.
Thanks Dad for not kicking me out of the garage while you
worked on something, especially when I was little. For teaching me if I want
something and don't want to wait, it usually best if you build yourself like our first DIY project, the scrap wood step stool we needed so toddler me could reach the bathroom sink and brush my teeth. I’m sure I didn’t
help much except maybe to hand you something or stay out of the way but I will
never forget that once the paint was dry you said we built it.
