I have COMPLETE respect for men's work. It's hard, takes skill and a lot of strength that women don't have. Thankfully, I've had a few handy boyfriends that did tons of things in my home for me.

Ha! I can totally relate to the sawing of the door. I did the EXACT same thing, except I placed the door on an old kitchen cabinet on my driveway. Man, is that hard! I came out with a crooked edge as well. Thank God it's on the bottom.

The reason I had the cabinet in my driveway? Well, I decided to rid myself of "Seinfeld cabinets." -The ones that hang from the ceiling between two rooms. You know--where it's impossible to carry on a conversation because all you see is a headless body?

Yeah, THAT was interesting...trying to get that behemoth down, esp. when it's still connected to the other cabinets. I swear I'd have lost half my body if I were an inch closer to that monstrosity when the last screw let go.

And...have you ever sawed a couch in half in your house? It was the couch that my X spent many an hour on. I couldn't get it around the corner and into the garage so I cut it up with a circular saw. Oh yes...THAT was fun, esp. hitting wires.

I can also relate to the bonfire story. One windy day, I had so much to burn that I accidentally caught the big oak tree on fire. It was only the bark, but my hose was currently lent to the neighbor's bricklayer. I had to sprint over there and snatch it. Thank God there wasn't too much damage.

So guys, it's hats off to you. You really do do a lot of things that go unnoticed. From the lawn mowing to the mulch/stone...

OMG! That reminds me. I have a long curvy driveway, halfway through is a backup area. It needed new gravel so I went to the gravel place. Against the salesperson's advice, I chose the pretty, larger, more colorful, rounder rocks. Yeah, that was a BIG mistake. Every car that backed in there didn't come out. Yeah, I'll listen to the salespeople from now on. Ya think?

Ok, that's it for now.
