Best Underappreciated Skill
The ability to fix things - like watches, ceiling fans, 35mm cameras, lamps, televisions, wind chimes, toasters, and a plethora of other things. We are such a throw away society and it's refreshing when you come across someone that knows how to repair nearly everything. Luckily I come from a blue collar family and I have three brothers who are phenomenal at damn near everything. One specialises in automotive repairs and the other two are experts at general household issues. If they need to have a bathroom redone, they do it themselves. If a vacuum isn't working as it once was, they take it apart, assess the situation, find the parts online and get it up and running. It's a sight to behold and I use their stellar services on a near weekly basis. Thankfully they work for cookies and Fogo de Chao gift certificates, since I don't babysit and the only talent I have is making an extraordinary cappuccino.
