I will admit that I am not the brightest out there, I would guess by a long shot. I am neither a plumber or an electrician but I am a Integrity Tech in the Natural Gas industry and a FBO lineman when I can on the weekends....but I have learned interesting stuff this past week:
Lesson 1----When replacing a water spicket, do not push and pull on on the feeder lines.....especially at 5:15 on a Sunday when Lowes closes at 6:00
I did not realize water lines don't flex but I sure know now after replacing quite a chunk of busted water lines under the house thanks to my non skills. Perhaps I can now add plumber to my resume??
Lesson 2------When installing new wires into a outside electrical box, it is wise to shut off the main power to the unit. I managed to shock my self pretty good today while installing new security lights on the house and the resulting wire to the main breaker. I thought there was no risk unless I touched the wires at the top of the box...but I know better now Now that I just about electrocuted myself but did successfully install three new lights, perhaps I can add electrical experience to my resume?
Now I know this was long and boring, but what stories do yall have of your lessons learned working around the house?
