    My adage is leave it to the experts or go online and find a site that will give you some instruction and advice. My father on the other hand could do anything...and with either hand. He built our first house and made beautiful items from wood and metal. Some of it rubbed off because we all pitched in to help but none of us has his expertise or talent. He was in his 90's and passed away last year...but until the end he was figuring out ways to make things work more efficiently. We will miss him on Father's Day (and every day).

    My Dad helped me build a deck, and we added a cement step just the other day. He showed me how to lightly tap the plywood forms after the cement has been poured to get the bubbles out.
  • My dad is a DIY whiz after years of "flipping" fixer-uppers. The last tip he gave me was about laying tile. He said, "Get someone who's really good at tile to lay the first row. That way it won't be crooked and throw the rest of the tiles off-kilter!"

    I am a subscriber via supercoupongirl AT gmail.com, which is also where I may be reached if I am so lucky as to win! Thanks so much for the amazing giveaway, I've got my fingers crossed!

    My pop taught me many things. pay my bill on times, how to ride a bike,throw a baseball and the such. As for fixing things, I know how to change a light bulb without getting shocked, and as new homeowner I wish he taught me more. But I just fixed our water heater on my own. For all you others who have no fatherly advice The key is just a little a patience and about an inch and a half of plumbers crack-3/4 inch for the ladies. Happy Fathers Day DAD!

    My dad's diy secert is to always have a helper. It makes things go easier.

    Both my dad and my husband (known as "Daddy" to our kids) are do-it-yourselfers. With the economic downturn, a Home Depot gift certificate would allow us to do more for ourselves.

    I need a present and I am running out of time and I been out of money...Help me luck Angels.
  • Jennifer Halvorson
    When doing any project, it is better to have too many tools than too few.

    Unfortunately learned by trial & error.
  • My dad has been scoping out new tools for some summer projects. He's also scoping out help... has his eyes on us! Thanks for a shot at these.

    this would be the perfect gift for me. my children are out in the world and the only gifts i'm recieving are cards that have the words: please send money.
  • The most important DIY tip my father gave me was to actually finish the job.
  • willitara
    My dad didn't teach me any shortcuts. In fact his way of doing things was to take your time and do it right. I learned to thoroughly read instructions for any new product before I started working with it. That alone has saved me a lot of time and frustration.
  • Anne (in Reno)
    My dad still comes over and helps me fix things in my new house. My husband just stays out of our way!
  • Laura
    My dad showed me how to properly use power tools. i don't know of any true secrets, but he's a great wood turner!
  • Heather S
    My Dad's DIY secret was always have duck tape around. No joke. :)
  • brenna
    Dad will love it!
  • I think I learned this more from the mistakes my dad made, but "Measure twice, cut once" has saved me a lot of problems over the years.
  • andrea
    Great Giveaway! My dad showed my how to use a router to make trim for our bar..
    Thanks!
  • Neal Corcoran
    Summer's coming up and the 'to-do' list is growing....a HD gift card sure would make a nice dent in the project list.
  • Gene
    My Dad taught me that you can concentrate harder with your tongue hanging out of the side of your mouth. I never have picked up the habit though; I was always afraid of what would happen when I smashed my thumb with a hammer while "concentrating"!
