INTRODUCTION

We, as women, are so conditioned to seeing pictures showing a bunch of old codgers sitting around the wood stove at the hardware store that we never really invision ourselves as being the ones sitting there. And why not? We are just as capable to repair our homes as any guy. All we need is to be pointed in the right direction. Enter Paidra Delayno and FIX YOUR HOUSE. Obviously, home repair isn't for every woman just like there are lots of men out there who are worthless with tools. Actually, there are a lot who are worthless, with or without tools.

Thanks for visiting me here on the internet. In the articles I write, everything has to be just so. The article sites have their standards and if writers want their articles published, they must comply with the rules. Rules are good. If we didn't have them, things could get a little dicey. Who knows what variety of jerks we'd be subjected to. Here at FIX YOUR HOUSE's blog, you the reader will be able to pick up some tips on home repair and keep your attitude in tact at the same time.

My father was a home repair contractor for years in a large metro area. I worked many summers with him. He told me, "Paidra, you might not want to do this stuff for a living but it sure won't hurt to know how to take care of your own house." The man is right next to worthless with cars and computers but he knows houses. I've seen him bring back from the dead more then one house.

I work in the senior healthcare field. More specifically, in nursing homes. The toilets in nursing homes have a tendency to plug up more readily then residential homes. A wider variety of items goes down them then in your home. (except where there are little children - they are deadly. Throw the toy into the bowl and flush. Bye-bye toy) There is nothing more pathetic then seeing a female nurse's assistant standing there with a toilet plunger in her hand without a clue in the world what to do with it.

It is not my intention to teach anybody how to be a contractor. But, if you had a feather under your nose we'd both be tickled if I am able to show you how to avoid having to call one. I know how to do lots of stuff and am more then willing to share that information with you. I would enjoy having some feed back from you telling me what all you'd like to learn. E-mail me at: ddinpaidra@yahoo.com and let me know.

By now you are asking yourself, 'Why is she doing this?' The answer is simple. In my free time I market the fictional works of Loren Douglas, a newer fictional author on the horizon. I am his publisher and the name of my business is
DayDreamin' Stories. So far we have one book out as an e-book (soon to be released in print) and one book already in print.

The e-book is entitled, "ZOG." It's an outer space adventure with all the necessary elements. Fighting, Revenge, Time Travel, and Love. Guarday Zografos is the commander of a star ship. His woman's name is Shehailian and together they travel through time and space.

The print book is entitled, "VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE." Jack Cole is a private detective working a missing husband case. He's in his early fifties and carries a Glock .45 under his coat and it isn't a fashion statement. You can check out our book page at:
http://www.booklocker.com/books/2812.html The book is also available through Amazon.com.

If STRESS is something you deal with, especially at work, I recommend an e-book I compiled entitled, "Take Time Out For Me." It talks about the causes of STRESS and gives tips on how to overcome it. At 68 pages, it's packed with information. I am offering this book at NO CHARGE. You can check it out at:

I also have two short stories available from Loren Douglas, also FREE of charge. The first one is "The Devil Drives A Ferrari" Just when you think you are getting away with something, it falls apart. Isn't that the way it is?

The second short story is "The Barbeque." It's about some friends in an assisted living facility who clearly have to much time on their hands. Both of these stories are FREE of charge. You can have either of them in Pdf. by e-mailing me at:
ddinpaidra@yahoo.com
Please include the story name on the subject line.

Thank you for spending a few minutes with me. Be sure to let me know if I can help you with any of those home repair problems. I don't know everything but if I know how to fix your house, I'll get back to you. I'll get back to you even if I don't know the answer. Usually I can figure out where to find answers. Also, check out the other products I've mentioned.

As my friend MC in The Dalles, Oregon says, "Do your best and flex the rest."
