Well I'm a girl but i like to do "boy things" I LOVE farming, pruning trees clearing the land and keeping the weeds at bay. I LOVE my Stihl combi system that has a nifty small chainsaw at the end. I like building things and fixing things, recently built screens adn repaird a cocktail table. Just the other day drilled a hole through the railing and installed a rain gage wo we can see it right out the kitchen window.
I actually have "my' tools and my hsuband can't use them unless he asks me. he leaves tool laying around and I cna't stand that. i buy all the tools, even the chainsaws and my hsuband is quite happy with this arrangement. I love using a new dril bit for the first time and have it slide through the medium i am drilling through. I jsut drilled a bunch of holes through the concret block houses we have over here, and laid out a cable over to our guest house for wirless internet. I bought a brand new cement drill bit aobut 16 inches long and on the last hole i had to sharpen the bit. Seems the floors over here are solid concrete and the floors i found are much harder to dril through.
The only thing i am not thrilled about doing is driving the tractor. I don't liket he fact that it doesn't have usspension like a car and i am worried about tipping over as we ahve very steep hillsides here. But I do throw out the fertilizer using a dustpan sitting on th 3ph wagon while my hubby drives the tractor.
he is a chef so he is great in the kitchen (oh and other rooms ,but i better not go into detail here) and does 90% of the grocery shopping and cooking. Actually he is not very handy at all but he has learned to operate the tractor pretty good. I do all painting and home repairs etc.
I also do like girly things, I sew and it has been years since i crocheted but I like doing that and i do design work for all our labels I design and print all of our brochures business cards etc. So I like girly things and manly things. Least favorite though is cleaning the house... About the only thing i miss from my previous more "affluent" (I don't like the word affluent but i cna't think if a diffrent one) lifestly in the states when my hbby owned 2 restaurants and i had a good job at GE was having the weekly cleaning lady. i do miss that. My husband generally keeps the floors up by sweeping and he does keep the kitchen clean and does the dishes most of the time. But when it comes to the real cleaning and laundry i have to step up. Officially I would think most people would call us an "odd couple" but hey it works for us. Just don't use my tools without asking....
I really enjoy the TBN website and really enjoy reading and learning about tractors, implements and jsut ways to do things. my husband has zero to offer in that area so i enjoy learning from you guys. Now jsut for good measure a nice girly smiley face
