I have a buddy who is always into one scheme or another.
And, he is always, always after me to join in with him. This guy is a genuinely decent human and his heart is in the right spot most times. It’s just that he takes risks with things that make no sense to me. I would be terrified to see is tax returns for example. He just has that knack of taking things too far. Yet, he hasn’t really paid a dear price either. When I found out that the HVAC would be needing a rather significant and costly repair, I should have kept my mouth shut. Instead, I inadvertently spilled the beans to this friend. Immediately, he was ready with a phone number of a guy who knows a guy who could fix the HVAC for half the price. Again, my buddy’s heart is in the right place as he knows money is tight for all of us right now. But the very idea of having anyone work on our HVAC other than a certified, licensed technician is madness to me. First, what handyman is going to guarantee the work on an HVAC? I don’t think any would be the answer. Plus, the HVAC is just too fundamental to our household. With all that’s going on this year, at least we have been able to find some refuge in the HVAC comfort of our home. Despite his repeated offers and subsequent protests, I simply told my buddy that the handyman HVAC repair route wasn’t for us. Instead, like any serious homeowner, I called the HVAC people to set up the necessary HVAC repair.
