Change a tire: No, but I would probably Google it and figure it out if necessary
Repair a hole in the wall: Same as above--I have repaired nail holes
Mow the lawn: I've only done it a couple times--So yeah, but I'm not totally comfortable doing it. We have fake grass now, so we don't worry about it.
Hang a picture: Yes
Clean Silver: Um, I think so. I've never done it, but would just read the directions on the cleaner
Adjust a wobbly chair: Yes--those felt sticky pad things under the shorter leg!
Paint a room: Not a pro by any means, but I've painted quite a bit
Install a TV: Like on the wall? No. That's what Best Buy Geek Squad is for!
Build a campfire: I have before--I'm probably not Boy Scout material though.
Assemble furniture (with instructions): Yes
Repair a seam: Yes--but not very well.
Sew a dress: No
Hang a door: Never have, but sure I could figure it out.
