This one starts of slow, but as you progress it becomes much easier. The hard part is getting handiness up while juggling gardening. Not a task to be taken lightly. Handiness is the one skill where I actually recommend reading the skill books, simply because upgrading takes so long at the lower levels. Once you get to a higher point, things upgrade faster and you can really get into upgrading things around the house, there are many, but I tend not to upgrade unless it proves to be very beneficial (i.e. improve cooking on stove), since it almost always earns you nothing in return.
