Original Toronto Star caption: Is this Handywoman? - No, it's Mrs. Debi Cushing, with daughter Dana, buying some lumber at Lansing Buildall's store on Sheppard Ave. E. for renovation work on the house which she and her husband bought three months ago. Mrs. Cushing is one of a growing army of women who are engaging more and more in do-it-yourself projects which were formerly considered to be a man's job.
