My windows always had drafts and the caulk kept cracking after two seasons, but after he spent 10 minutes showing me how the foam rod seals the gap first, I realized I'd been doing it wrong my whole career, has anyone else had a simple fix like this that made you feel silly for not trying it sooner?
I was out in the driveway at like 7am trying to clean the moss off my patio before the in-laws showed up. Second spray from the gun and the brass coupler just snapped clean off and sent water everywhere. Had to run to Ace Hardware in my wet socks and the replacement cost me $8 but they only had one left. Anyone else keep spare fittings for stuff that always fails on a weekend?
He said 'you just shut down the idea before even letting it breathe' and it kind of hit me weird because I do that with everything from vacation plans to trying new food. Is it better to be cautious and save yourself the headache or let yourself be open and risk getting burned?
I always figured they were just overpriced timers with some nature sounds, but after a rough week at work my sister made me try Headspace for a month. The sleep stories thing actually knocked me out in like 10 minutes. Anyone else find a habit they thought was hype actually helped?
I had this old Price Pfister kitchen faucet from the 90s that started dripping. Figured it was just a worn washer, pop the handle off, swap it, done. Six hours later, after stripping a screw head and having to drill it out, I finally got it working. Is it just me or do these 'simple' home repairs always turn into all day projects? Anyone else have a job that seemed quick but ate up your whole Saturday?
