that makes you feel absurdly competent.
I change my own oil, and it's strangely gratifying.

I fixed my kitchen sink all by myself when it was clogged (like had to take the pipes apart kind of clogged) :D The landlord kept telling me he'd hire a plumber or come over and fix it for me....I just looked at him and laughed and said "You think because I am female, I can't fix it?! I'll prove you wrong!"....and I did :D

I'm on oxygen, so I have an excuse! But twice a week before garbage morning, I emply all the small garbage cans around the house. Then my husband puts the full paper bags into a big black garbage bag. It's amazing how much garbage 2 people (and 2 cats) can make in 3 days! lol Funny question!

Other than my usual laundry, dishes etc..? Every time it rains the phone lines get wet & we lose our dial tone (very frustrating..we have dial-up lol) so, I have to go out & dry off the box & connectors w/ some newspaper & a skewer (to get in the small places). Silly sounding but, it makes me feel like I am capable of more than just keeping my house in order. :)

Digging up sprinklers and making them work right, when it works it is strangely gratifying!

I clean. Love to do it, need to do it, it is my stress buster. I clean everything and anything with joy. I play the radio, dance around and just launch out a full on attack against the dirt & grime. lol

I installed a ceiling fan ... Woo hoo me!
Long term basis? Mow the lawn. Makes me feel like a winner that I survived, every time.

I pulled my dryer out and cleaned behind it - disgusting but "gratifying" as you said.

Cleaning the fish aquariums. I know it is crazy. When I clean them I feel like I am accomplishing something very important. Mm, I suppose they do too, lol.

When i pull out furniture and hoover behind it, and wipe the skirting boards - makes me feel the house is really clean. Mad !

I do my mom's "books" for her cleaning service at the house. And I take good care of my cockatiel that I love dearly! :)
