My husband is absolutely incredible. Sometimes I can’t even believe what a great human he is, and he amazes me every day through some means or another. One of the things that I envy the most is his ability to learn. While I have a hard time retaining information from reading blocks of text, he has no problem scouring pages upon pages of content and committing the tiniest details to memory. I have no idea how he absorbs so many facts just skimming over web pages, but I sure wish he would put that talent to better use sometimes. Rather than learning about car modifications, limited whisky releases, or new cooking techniques, I really wish he could become an expert on our home repair needs. There are so many handyman projects he could tackle around the house, saving us tons of money in hiring professionals. Our HVAC system, for instance, is desperately overdue for routine maintenance and diagnostics. I know he’s capable to clean out the furnace and air conditioner inner workings and to check for fluid levels and worn out parts. He’s a great mechanic when his car has a problem, so I can’t see why the heating and cooling equipment would be any different. I also have no doubt that he could diagnose strange sounds and smells coming from the old furnace. What’s more, there’s no chance that he’s incapable to change out the nasty old air filters every few months. There’s nothing holding him back from becoming our in-home HVAC professional; he just needs to finally take an interest.
