Sometimes I make bad decisions when it comes to fixing things around the house.
I always feel like I’m able to maintain everything myself, however that’s actually just not the case, and honestly, the truth of the matter is that I don’t actually know how to maintain many things around the new home at all.
I mean, I know how to maintain the ice maker and the vacuum and that is just about it. I always thought that I would marry a guy who would be wonderful at fixing things, however now I’m divorced. Not only that, however my ex was really an idiot who could barely figure out how to turn on the microwave without my help. I am now at the mercy of the handymen and local trade workers who know how to maintain things like the large appliances and the plumbing in my house, and without them, I know my new home would entirely end up falling apart. It’s a wonderful thing that most of the time the repairs that I have to have done are not all that extravagant. However, last week, I noticed that my heating plan was not finally working respectfully and I decided that I was going to try and maintain it myself. I just did not want to have to spend the money to get the gas furnace fixed professionally, and that was a substantial mistake. I should have known better than to try and mess around with the gas furnace myself. I ended up making the problem even worse and I had to spend more money on the local Heating and A/C supplier than I entirely would have if I had just called them to begin with.
