I am constantly trying to keep my husband away from our indoor air handling devices. There’s not much that I can do because he has an iron will power. No matter how often I try to deter him from touching any of our indoor appliances it seems like he is more determined to mess with the air quality control devices. It all started at least 10 years ago when he managed to correctly repair an AC window unit. At the time, we had a very cheap cooling system that we bought second-hand from a family friend. There was not very high stakes in the air conditioning repair or continuing functionality. As such, I thought it was no big deal for my then-boyfriend to mess around with the air conditioning unit for a while. Unfortunately, this has equipped him with a lifelong hubris over his indoor air handling device troubleshooting and repair skills. Recently, this has become a problem with our central air conditioning system. Of course, our central air conditioning unit is a lot more expensive and that AC window unit ever was. This doesn’t stop my husband from trying to fiddle with the expensive air handling equipment on his own. Last week I came home and found that he finally got his paws on the cooling system. It was easy to tell because our air conditioning unit was broken into a million pieces in the backyard. Meanwhile, my husband was sitting inside looking like a mess. Apparently, he was promptly electrocuted when he tried to fiddle with the AC this time. I still doubt he learned his lesson.
