I hate to call a professional to work on my home unless it is absolutely and 100% necessary.
Most work I can perform on my own. I had a problem with a leaky pipe in the basement last year and I saved almost a grand by doing the work on my own. I didn’t even spend much money on all of the parts and supplies. I know a little bit of information about heating, plumbing, electrical, and AC work. I certainly wouldn’t call myself a professional, but I have more knowledge than the average person. When I had an issue with the central AC unit in my home, I decided to order the part online so I could save $200. I waited several days for my shipment to arrive. When the new part for the AC unit arrived, I was very disappointed that it didn’t fit perfectly. Luckily, I had some tools to work on the problem. I filed down the side of the parts so it said more snugly inside the air conditioner. It took an extra 30 minutes of my time, but I made the part work. I certainly didn’t want to send it back to the manufacturer and wait another week for a new part to arrive. I was proud of my work after I finished and I started to think about making helpful online videos. I don’t really know much about the internet and youtube, but I think I might be able to help other people tackle everyday home issues and repairs. If I could make money too, that would be exciting and fantastic.
