Mr. Handyman: A Humorous Take on DIY Home Repairs
Why Home Improvement Projects Are Best Left to the Pros
One Saturday morning, I bravely decided to tackle our washing machine troubles. The cold water pressure was weak, and after consulting with a couple of colleagues?"who had once owned washing machines themselves?"we concluded it was a sticky solenoid. Armed with my toolbox, I confidently announced my plan to my wife.
"It'll be fixed in ten minutes," I assured her as I headed to the basement. Meanwhile, she was sensibly adding a 24-hour emergency plumbing service to our speed dial.
"Shouldn't we call the plumber?" she suggested, clearly underestimating my home repair skills. I understood her skepticism; my past DIY attempts hadn't exactly been successful.
But today, I felt sure of myself. I carefully unscrewed every bolt on the back of the machine, only to realize it wouldn’t budge. Undeterred, I used the largest screwdriver I had for leverage. A loud screech and two snaps later, the back flew off like a champagne cork, crashing into the concrete wall with a house-shaking thud.
As expected, I heard the basement door creak open. "Should I call the plumber?" my wife inquired.
"We don't need a plumber," I insisted, feigning confidence.
Staring at the bewildering tangle of wires and hoses, I pondered my next move. I began dismantling parts, searching for anything resembling a solenoid?"which, according to the dictionary, is a cylindrical, magnetizable object.
Every hour, my wife would check in. "Should I call the plumber?"
Finally, admitting defeat, I sighed, "It's time to call a plumber."
Although I felt I was close to a breakthrough, her waning patience prompted me to wave the white flag. Soon enough, the professional arrived, surveying the chaotic scene with disbelief.
"What happened here?" he asked.
The first excuse I could muster: "Vandals. We've had some issues in the neighborhood."
"Must’ve been quite the gang to do this much damage," he mused, and I nodded in agreement.
As he assessed the damage, each "hmmm" he uttered sounded increasingly costly. Eventually, he began reassembling the washing machine with expert ease, making it whole again and pushing it back against the wall.
"What exactly were you trying to fix?" he asked, while calculating a bill that could rival a small country's GDP.
"The cold water pressure was weak," I replied. "Sticky solenoid."
Nodding skeptically, he reached behind the machine, detached a hose, and tapped it until a thick blob of sludge oozed out. After reattaching the hose with a final twist, he concluded, "Your filter was clogged."
And so, I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, it's best to leave home improvement projects to the professionals.
