know less about how to do manual work than my dad.

Funny, this is the opposite for me and my Dad, because I very much took advantage of all the free knowledge available on the Internet to improve my skills in that area.

He's the kind of guy to put WD40 and spray foam on everything to "fix" it, while I'll look up proper replacement parts and the right way to fix something.
