It took me many to get used to home maintenance. I spent the duration of my college years as well as into my early 30s living in apartments exclusively. I was conditioned into calling the maintenance staff to my component anytime I had anything remotely close to an issue. I did this even if I merely lacked the right size ladder to change a light bulb on a high ceiling or had a minute drain clog. It’s simple to take this resource for granted, recognizably when you know as well as expect nothing else. The first year of finally owning a home at last was not what I expected. I drove to the hardware store confused as well as angry more times than I would like to admit. Although I guess I’m starting to understand basic handyman works as well as other home repairs, I am recognizably embarrassed to say that I didn’t know what kind of air conditioner filter to buy when it came time to replace it the actually first time. The maintenance staff at all of my apartments even handled the a/c units, so I had literally never replaced a single of those filters in my life. I had to get on the internet just to figure out where the faceplate for the filter tray is located before I could even try to find the filter to determine what size fits in the machine. Once I found the filter compartment, removed the filter, as well as then wrote down the measurements, I went to the hardware store to find a replacement. The only issue was that there were nearly 10 separate varieties all in that certain size as well as I had no clue where to start. A helpful employee pointed out a filter that has high enough allergen ratings to filter out mold as well as dust particles however thin enough to foster fantastic airflow for better method efficiency. It’s a task in progress, but I guess I’m finally making headway with studying all of my necessary home maintenance skills.
