I repaired a sticking door to the garage today. Now it opens freely and effortlessly when you turn the knob.

    This is not dull to me. The first time I fixed a door for similar reasons, the Internet didn’t exist as it does now. I had to go to my public library in hopes to find books on how to do so since my father was on travel for work for over a month and long distance calls were expensive. It might be easier today, but fixing something around the house is an important skill. I hope that you are proud of the work you did.

      Oh I am but for me it was dull and routine. I’ve now renovated 2 houses on my own over the last 20 years.

      It’s funny you mentioned learning a skill. I just loaned my nail gun and compressor to a younger neighbor this evening. I was a bit taken aback at first by his complete lack of knowledge of how to use an air compressor. It took me a second to register it, but then I showed him the ropes without being patronizing. He really appreciated the lesson. It was cool to pass on knowledge.

        Some folks just never get certain knowledge passed down to them for a host of reasons. Good on ya for not making a big deal of it.
