Luckily I absorbed enough to know what I'm doing with just a little refresher, and God bless YouTube for tutorial videos. The other day we had a gas dryer breakdown and the quote was 200 bucks to fix. Even though I knew is was a dryer belt. Watched a quick "how to" clip, bought a belt, took that fucker apart and had it running good as new in about half an hour. 23 bucks. THAT is satisfying...but I'm in the Wrong damn business.(10-06-2017, 12:05 AM)Donovan Wrote: Donovan moved to a house with a whole lot of side work. Place is absolutely falling to pieces.
HOTD did a lot of long overdue work on her house earlier this year too.
I'm not as handy as I imagine you are, so I needed professional help (which was a big hit to the bank account).
But, given other bullshit going down in my world at the same time, it was pretty therapeutic to do what I could on my own and I ended up enjoying the productive distraction.
Hope you're having some fun with your fixer-upper too Donovan.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
