Cold air flows through the house as I write this, and the hum of electricity drones outside in a constant roar of air cooling. Okay, so it's not the electricity humming, but the machine itself, but that's okay - I'm trying to use imagery here.
Thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reverendfixxxer and akdidge for your helpful advice on how to change the fuses without destroying my ability to use my arm. I was so stuck in "this is what happened last time" that I had trouble thinking about "this is what I could do differently."
The store told me they didn't carry the fuses that I brought in - they lied. I found them, and though they were marked $7.50 for two, they only cost $2.50*, so I bought four. Just in case this happens again.
$5.00 - much better than the $80 we paid last year to have someone come and look at it when all it turned out to be was the fuses. I need to start learning how to do more stuff around the house. It'll save money in the short run, and in the long run too if I learn how to do it well enough.
What skills should I tackle first that will help the most? Any ideas?
*And yes, they really did only cost $2.50 - being the guy I am I told the cashier that there might be a mix up and maybe we should check. They were mis-shelved under the wrong price. I didn't want to walk out feeling guilty over $10.
Thank you
