DIY
Thursday, April 24, 2025
I have had a productive month or so on the Do It Yourself front. I have,
- Installed a new AC filter;
- Installed some outside lights;
- Installed a new light switch;
- And yesterday repaired our washing machine.
I probably took longer with those jobs than a professional, but for me there is just the satisfaction of getting a job done without making that call and scheduling a time for someone to come round. I can look back afterwards and say to myself, “I did that.”
Each time that I get one job done, the next time something breaks down (fingers crossed not too often) or we decide to put something new in, I first ask myself if I can do it? And as I complete another job, I grow in confidence and learning.
YouTube has been a big help with this. If something needs fixing or installing, chances are that someone has put up a video about it - professionals and amateurs alike. Thank you to you all! 🙏
And of course we save some money as well.
