We want to know.

Are you handy? As in, do you own (at least) a basic tool kit and do you know how to use it? If so, how the hell did you learn?!

Did you find a tutorial on YouTube that helped you fix a running toilet?

Maybe you subscribed to the channel so you could learn how to fix more things in your home. See this one here.

Or did you find a book that taught you how to fix your car when you were a bit too cash-strapped to hire a professional?

Perhaps your mom or dad has been teaching you how to safely use power tools since you were a kid.

Or perhaps you just have a really good friend that you know you can call if you can't figure something out like how to fix your bike chain.

It's OK if you can't totally do it yourself.
