Sneaking repairs by my husband
I don’t have a handy husband.
When anything breaks in the house I just cringe. I don’t want him working on repairs or installing new things. First, he isn’t skilled in that department and usually does it wrong. Next, my husband has a really bad temper and tends to throw things or break whatever he is working on. I try to hide when something is broken or if I am installing something. I need to sneak in professionals when he is not home. Right now I am waiting on a HVAC repair. One day the AC just stopped working. I tried changing the air filter, mucking out the condensate drain and cleaning the cooling coil. I couldn’t fix it. No way am I going to alert my husband that the AC doesn’t work. He would get out his tools and reef on the AC. He would strip the bolts, handle the paneling roughly and might even throw his tools against the side. Sometimes my husband gets so angry walking back and forth with his tools that he ends up throwing the tools outside and ruining my gardens. I need him not to notice that we don’t have cooling. The moment he leaves for golf on Sunday I am going to have the HVAC worker hurry to fix the cooling system. I already explained to the HVAC technician that he needs to move fast and leave no signs that he was in his house. It is like having an affair only with repairs. I hope my husband doesn’t notice.
