wtf is going on with this gen of men not knowing basic handyman skills

[Raptor]

This week I attempted to construct a wood fire pizza oven for my mother. She likes to bake breads for the whole family and she found a kit that was half price at an auction. I took a day off. Because these types of projects needed 2 people to lay the foundation and the brickwork, I called 20 of my pals, each of them did not know anything about basic carpentry or any handyman skilled that you would expect a father to teach his sons.I even offered them money and delicious woodfire pizza after we finished the project None of them knew anything about basic brickwork or woodwork. At the end of the day, I had to pay this old Italian dude 300 dollars for a day worth of work I' ain't a Tradie but I still see basic handy man skills essential for any man to learn. Especially in this economy. Brehs need to start learning those male skills.

You should have called Gomez it would have been cheaper

Most of these men have been raised by women.

So because they can't build a fukking oven they're not men

Yeah its almost to the point where if you not a country boy, or in a healthy two parent home you can forget about running into dudes with handyman skills. They can probably setup you entertainment center, or install some software. But anything else.... nope.

I ran across a 20 something year old dude that told me he didn't even know how to cut grass because he never had to do it before.

[futuretrunks]

nobody never taught me and haven't looked on web for youtube videos to self learn that chit because it doesn't pay the bills

 

[Arishok]

Same reason a lot of women can't cook

I already knew how to lay bricks, my father taught me everything before he died. You need two or more people to construct an Italian oven or else you'll fukk up the whole project as there's too many elements

This is a similar kit we used
