No one ever taught me that kind of stuff as a kid either. Honestly I just searched for tutorials online and otherwise winged it until I figured it out. I'm pretty good at it now, but it did take several years to get there.

I was too... But I figured if I need to fix it, it's already broken anyway. Worst case scenario I need to fix it a little more.

Nobody would have ever called me handy before I learned to do the stuff. There's no natural skill involved. You just have to start. You'll make mistakes, but there is very little in home improvement that can't be fixed by trying again.
