haha, "19. Move heavy stuff" so vague, yet so understood.

Surprised that the following skills were left out (maybe too basic?): change oil, rotate tires, back up a trailer (not just hitch it), catch a fish (not just cast), and how to get your wife to do at least 6 of those for you.

#33 change a single pole light. There is no such thing as a single pole light switch. I know your talking about a 2 pole switch.

Buy the way most homes in the US have something called split phase power; yes I know most people call it single phase but it’s not used in the US but is used over seas.

My wife can do about a forth of that list. I’m not saying either of us can do it well but can be done.

Don’t forget about the important thing; beat to fit, glue to stick, and paint to match. This will get you out of a lot of stuff.
