Seriously, I am all thumbs. I don't even own a drill any more because I just can't use them (we have a large, quite expensive painting in our toilet simply to hide the massive hole in the wall I made when trying to put a mirror up - "Simply mark and drill two small holes", it said in the instructions; yeah, right!). The wife and children leave the house when I come home with a piece of flat-pack furniture. I once called my father over to the house to help with a shower pump that wouldn't turn off only to find that I had left my electric razor turned on on the side of the shower and that was the noise I thought was the pump running.
When I say I don't know where to start, that's probably not entirely true. I know the theory, I just don't have the aptitude to put that into practice.

That's where the guidance of an instrutor comes in. It's the basis of all trades. The eyes learn quicker than the brain. TV shows help also but they don't answer back.

Very appreciated and I hope I didn't insult you.

Hey! I didn't know that. Thank you again Nick!
You know, you should write an MR user manual.
