I truly wish that people would ask for help when they needed it instead of trying to be DIY masters.
I feel like the internet has skewed peoples’ expectations for their own handy skills where there are none.
Honestly, I have been trying to discourage all of my neighbors from taking on major household projects without calling as well as asking for help first. I worked as a property company as well as household director for over 40 years. During my professional experiences I learned a thing or two about electricity, carpentry, as well as even heating, cooling, as well as ventilation system repair. I feel like I am a fantastic resource if anyone has rudimentary questions about fixing their air handling devices or indoor appliances. Unluckyly, I live across the street from a cocky young woman who thinks that she knows everything. This is why she was knocking on my door in the middle of the night when her air conditioner device broke down last week. Earlier in the day I saw him walking around as well as inspecting her central cooling system with a puzzled look on her face. She seemed rather befuddled by some kind of issue with the indoor air handling device. I called over as well as asked if she would like a second opinion on her air conditioner device before she called an Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C company. My unwise neighbor replied that she did not need any help because she was going to perform the heating as well as cooling repair on her own. Twelve hours later I awoke to my neighbor banging on my door, complaining that she could not sleep because she had broken her air conditioner unit.
