I can't live without my screw drivers!

This article has been submitted by a GrownUps member. GrownUps accepts no liability for its content and the views and information contained within are not necessarily those of the GrownUps website.

Ever since I have been in Auckland there have been many challenges. Especially with concrete walls and wanting to hang pictures. Over a period of time of trial and error I have managed to get my photo's on the walls.

Using my screwdrives (epecially the flathead) I am able to hang most tings from a heavy concrete picture made up with glass etc. I used an electric drill with a concrete drill piece and used my screwdrivers to insert the piece that would hold the pictures to the walls of which there are many.

Time and patience with the use of my drill and my favorite screwdrivers I am able to do anything. Especially when people say that DIY is for men and I am a woman shows that woman can do anything. Just putting some thought into the project then doing it is the key.

My screwdrives which are my friends helps with so many other projects around the house which makes them a valuable tool to have in the house. I do not lend them out to anyone as I don't know what condition they will return in.

I can't live without my screwdrivers!
