Sometimes I don’t make the best decisions in life, that’s for sure.
One of the things that I really regret doing is trying to fix things around the house myself instead of calling in a professional! I don’t really know why I consistently do this to myself when everyone knows that I don’t know what I’m doing around the house.
Sure, I know how to cook and clean and I can rearrange furniture and things like that. I can even hammer a nail in from time to time when it comes to things like hanging a picture. However, when it comes to things like fixing appliances or plumbing or electricity, I do not have a clue about any of it. Once in a while, I will try to fool myself by watching a video online and I will try to fix something myself but it has never turned out well for me at all. The problem that I had last week with my furnace system just goes to reiterate the fact that I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to home repairs. My furnace wasn’t coming on when I turned the thermostat up and I decided that I was going to fix it myself. I did not want to pay for an HVAC technician to come out to the house and so I was determined to figure out what the problem was myself. This did not turn out well. I ended up making a simple problem very difficult and at the end of the day I had to pay a fortune to an HVAC company to come and fix it anyway.
