To be perfectly honest, I am not the handiest person on the planet.
I am pretty much useless at any genre of repair, renovation or even a supposedly quick-fix around the house! One time I even attempted to do a straight-forward oil change and somehow managed to mess up my car engine! So when a problem does appear in my home, I usually reach out to a professional or a friend who has some sense when it comes to lake house repairs.
But occasionally, I try to take the initiative and roll my sleeves up to take on the task. One incident that stands out is the time I tried to do a heating repair. It was an unusually chilly day in February and I was relying on my oil furnace to keep me from shivering. I began to notice that my heating seemed to be laboring weakly or not at all as I shivered in my dining room. I went to check the oil furnace and saw that it was completely dead. I did not want to spend the night with my teeth chattering in my bed, so I got to work attempting to do oil furnace repair, however wow, do I overestimate my abilities. After about an minute of trying to figure out which parts really made up a heater, I was more behind than when I first started. I decided I would entirely end up destroying the oil furnace if I tried to touch it, so I reached out to an HVAC worker. That was absolutely the safe choice, as my oil furnace was hastily repaired and laboring back to normal soon after. I haven’t attempted to touch an A/C or oil furnace unit since then!
