He wears a lot of hats.

This past week David has had quite a few things to fix around here. Over the weekend the toy room door fell off its hinges. And then Monday morning Abby used her bottom dresser drawer as a step stool, and she broke the front off the drawer. So on Monday David fixed both of those items.

Tuesday morning I noticed that one of the piano keys was sticking whenever I pressed it. I planned on calling the piano tuner to have him come and fix it, but before I did that I showed the problem to David on his lunch hour. He right away took the piano apart and discovered a quarter wedged under the key.While he had the piano apart he cleaned it out. Then Tuesday evening he decided to tackle the bathroom drain that has been running slowly. A little plunger action, and he had it draining quickly again.

Wednesday morning he decided to attempt to fix the Cap Locks key on our laptop. (It has been falling off the keyboard for months.) He put super glue on the key and let it dry. Then he meticulously carved the dried glue to shape a hook to replace the one that broke off. The key now works very well and no longer falls off when pressed.

All of those little "Mr. Fix It" jobs made me ponder how many skills David has. Let's count so far:  he's a carpenter/general contractor, he does piano repair, he's a plumber, and he fixes computers. But that's not all he does:  he's a mechanic, an auto-body repairman, he fixes vacuums, he repairs small engines on things like snow blowers and chain saws, he is an electrician, and a lumber-jack. He also does snow removal, installs furnace ducting, he sets up televisions and home entertainment centers, and he installs/repairs all manner of appliances. There are more jobs that he does, too. For example:  he's rescued many a friend (including myself) when they've locked their keys in their cars. I can't even begin to tally up how much money he has saved us with his unique skill set.

The girls and I (and David's extended family, too) are very blessed to have such a talented and motivated man who is willing to do all these odd jobs for us. Oh, and let me not forget to mention that David is also a loving and fun daddy; a caring husband, son, and brother; and he's also my best friend.
