During my childhood I learned how to use a hammer, handsaw, electric saw, crank drill, power drill, screwdriver and various other tools. I betcha my parents had less money then the Rmoney's did when they got married. Betcha the first place my parents lived was much smaller than what they had as newlyweds. If I remember, it was smaller than my living room.
