Thanks, John!
My maternal Grandmother and my Father, I would say, are responsible, as well as good friend Bill...we're all in this together and we have to take care of our neighbors, the closest ones first.
Many times the cost is the same (for comparable quality or better), and often what you don't get in quantity is likely not a necessary thing in the first place!
I am always working to be better in my spending habits, to hopefully conserve SOME of our local economy and domestic manufactured products, to keep our money closer to home.

He IS a little bit handy, but not THAT handy.

Pretty much just the oven/stove and refrigerator.
Of course I love my washer and dryer, too.
We have a Maytag washer that we bought in 1989 right after my first son was born. Washing away as I type!
