"OK, so here’s the deal. My husband has always been a garage monkey. As I bake cookies and wipe the noses of my children he grinds, welds, creates, repairs, and rebuilds.

 

Last year he finally got me a Jeep, a ’96 two-door XJ. Since we are located in Pennsylvania (home of much rusty sheetmetal) it was going to be quite a project if it was to be done right.

 

Since our business, TrailTubes, is selling do-it-yourself kits and since eventually it is going to be my pink Jeep, I decided I need to work on my own Jeep for two reasons. First, there’s nothing less manly than a guy driving his wife’s pink rig into a “chick” show or event just to have it win when you know he did the work and she couldn’t give a rip. Second, if I can learn this, then I can encourage the men (and women) out there who don’t currently fabricate that they too can do it.

 

So this spring I have learned to use torches, weld, and grind.

 

Here’s my problem. Why didn’t anyone tell me garage work can be enjoyable and fun? Why are men whining and moaning pretending they don’t like it? Welding is like an art! I can hardly believe it! You sneaky men have us doing the hard work in the house while you get to create! I am totally confused as to why some men don’t get out there and try this. I know my husband has a lot of work in this project too and is my supervisor. I’m slow, so he gets way more done, but it makes me wonder why aren’t men having their buddies teach them? Why aren’t more women doing this with their men instead of complaining at them for being in the garage?

 

My Jeep is almost done—I can’t wait! And now that I know how to use torches and welders, you better watch out!

Rachel"
