What I have been able to do during this economy downturn with no job is continue to spend money. However, I find there is less money for other things like landscaping ($125/week...C'mon!) and repairs around the house. I know I'm not alone when I say I don't want to look stupid and ask someone how to change an outlet box. My next step is usually to "Youtube it" and hope there is an instructional video showing me the step-by-step- process on how its done and in a way a 3-year girl could understand.
Now, after 2 hours of online research I'm usually left with no answer and have reached a new level of frustration. I start thinking about how I'm unemployed and on top of all this I don't know how to change an outlet! Swear words to follow, possibly throw something of no value against the wall followed by a shit and a smoke to calm me down. Then, I ask someone. If you have never felt like this before you're a liar and your probably ugly.
Nobody wants to look stupid or ugly. Lets face it, its inevitable for everyone when it comes to fixing new things around the house to get frustrated.. There's no more shame in my game! I need help and I'm sure I'm not alone. We all have some Fix it questions and need a place to go to in real time.
"FixIT" DaddyYO to our rescue...a father and contractor, has agreed to join the crew should there be interest, answer questions for other DaddyYO's and possibly do a video once a month for the most inquired about project on our blog. Make Sense?
We have a lot people reading our blog and should you feel, now or later, that Fixit DaddyYO could be helpful to you, let him know.

Is FixIt DaddyYO only accepting questions from daddyYos? Because this mama has a wall demolition question that the internet is being useless about answering.
