I have always wanted to be more handy, but find it intimidating. So I started volunteering for Habitat for Humanity with my teenage son. He's getting something to put on his resume, we're spending time together, we're both learning a lot of really practical skills, and we've met some cool and interesting people. Also, we've gotten to know and like the homeowners whose houses we are working on (two going up at once, right next door to each other) so it feels good to help them, even though we are still beginners. So none of that exactly came from MMM, but none of it came without MMM, either!
