Women donning power tools to conquer home improvement tasks themselves Lynn Underwood, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Norma Vally, the 'Toolbelt Diva' who shows women tricks of the trade on the Discovery Home Channel, is just one of the inspirational female DIYers on the small screen.
'We want to teach women that with the right attitude and proper tools, you can get the job done yourself,' Vally said.
And Web sites by and for women do-it-yourselfers are springing up, as well. One Web site, Be Jane, sprang from trial and error. Heidi Baker, a site founder, said that when she was revamping her San Diego condo four years ago, she found little how-to help. So she picked up a cordless drill and got to work.------------------------------------------- posted 12:02 PM :: reference link ::
