I can't begin to tell you how freeing it is to learn how to use power tools and fix stuff in your own home.
Especially if you grew up like me and it was expected that the men would do this stuff. (Which they will procrastinate and postpone doing indefinitely).
Ever since buying my own place I've been learning to do stuff, and I installed my dishwasher, a shower bidet, assembled a lot of furniture and hung all kinds of shit on my walls and it feels GREAT!
Also, one thing I've learned from observing men doing this stuff is that they don't really know what they're doing either. If you look for a tutorial on YouTube you have just as big of a chance of getting everything right, maybe more. So don't let fear stop you and grab that power drill.
