I did repair the clothes dryer when it wasn’t working. First, I called a repair guy and had him come over. “It’s gonna cost two hundred dollars,” he said. “What?” I said. I thought about just replacing the whole unit. But then I looked up what part it was, and eventually I installed it. And it worked. It’s a question of paying attention. I mean, if these technicians can do it, why the hell can’t I? That’s always been my attitude. “If this guy can repair this plumbing leak, why can’t I? If he can solder this copper pipe, why can’t I? It ain’t that complex.”
