For every 1000 things I attempt to fix, it feels like I make 998 worse or completely destroy the item being fixed resulting in the purchase of a new "thing". There was a pool of water in the basement near the furnace/air condition and dehumidifier. At first, I thought it was a malfunctioning dehumidifier - possibly a clog or leak in the drain. I unhooked the dehumifier and found that if anything, there was more water on the floor. My next thought was a clogged drain or leak in the air conditioner. I went on-line and found no helpful information - but decided to open the unit and see if there wsa anything visible leaking. Nope. Then I noticed that a drain tube seemed not to be draining into the sump pump pit. Cleaned it out and refit it to the pump pit. Re-started the dehumidifer and crossed fingers. Seems to be a success. Someone who knew what they were doing probably could have fixed this in 3 minutes or less - but I'll take the victory. Now only another 990 or so failures, and we'll have another success! | ||

Good for you! I'm not handy or as I used to say not mechanically inclined but I've improved my skills about 10x over by doing things myself and not asking my RM to do them for me. It is indeed a good feeling when a plan comes together. | |||
