DIY in Australia

Looks like the women down under are getting DIY crazy around the house. And not in a knitting-doilies kind of way.

According to The Australian, "encouraged by do-it-yourself nights at consumer-savvy hardware stores, women are taking to power tools and sledgehammers with increasing accuracy and frequency."

Nice.

Apparently a recent "Ladies DIY Night" in a Perth hardware store brought in more than 500 women. I wish the Home Depot in my neighborhood would do some shit like this!

We should take a cue from our Aussie friends; there the women influence 80 per cent of all hardware store purchases. I can't imagine it's sooo different here.

Just think, a night of women and powertools that wouldn't be illegal in Alabama.
