RE: Weekend DIY project: Ball Joints on a car

in #diy7 years ago

Ah yes!!! I think if you are a son of a handyman it's more likely you will be..J's step father was a diesel mechanic and his father was a police diver and then a detective lol. It's both a blessing and a curse because you know how much things cost and you could do them yourself however it takes up a lot of time full stop on the other hand there is the satisfaction of being resourceful and saving money. What kind of car is it? We have quite a few on the go which is ridiculous but Jamie does love his cars. I have to keep interrupting his mechanics to get him to do other DIY things for me. We ended up putting pine flooring all through the house but we got it at a bargain price which meant not all bits we're straight so that was pretty funny watching him and Dad trying to Jimmy them into position. But it was probably $15,000 cheaper than getting a hardwood floor fitted and I am not a fan of carpet. Is philosophy is that you can figure out how to do anything with YouTube, book, or your brains which is one of the reasons I fell in love with him. I couldn't be with anyone that didn't know how to fix stuff lol
