Talking Thats "Men's" Work or is it "Wo"-men's work?

There are so many things that need to be done around the house that are considers "Men's Work".

Ok, so I add it to the "Honey Do" list and wait.... and wait, and wait for it to be done. Well after being with DH for almost 28 yrs I have come to realise that there is no such thing as "Men's Work" or "Honey Do" list. I realize very early in our relationship that if I want something done I best do it myself.

Being home owners we find ourselves doing most of the work our selves. Self taught of course (electric, plumbing, drywall, flooring ect.) We do ok most of the time. Plus I learned how to use power tools as a young girl watching my father and what I didn't know how to do I taught myself, I love power tools. But lots of times I find myself sitting back and watching DH murder the heck out of something just so that I dont bruise his ego. But its not pretty watching a grown ass man have a hissy fit because he cant do something and has to redo it. Been there, done that... He gets so pissy when ever I try to step in and do it or suggest a better way of doing it. Not that I am an expert at doing everything. Believe me we've had ton of oops, and uh oh incidents while trying to improve our home. But I am pretty darn good at using the power tools.

And lets face it.... I'd be waiting until the cows came home if I sat back and waited for DH to get it done. And since we are city folk that would be a pretty long time!

Which brings me to my question.

What "Men's Work" can You (women) do Better than your Husbands?

change a light switch or elec socket
finish drywall
get a straight cut using a curricular saw
miter cuts using a compound miter saw
