I’m an inquisitive person (a little cheap, too), so I like to do things on my own before I call in the experts. This is why, of course, I only seek advice and information from reliable sources, right? Wrong!
The first time my car window wouldn’t roll up or down, I surfed Youtube and watched several videos on repairing it. The next afternoon pieces of my door were scattered on the front lawn while I struggled to make the window motor work. Before I knew it, I broke the motor even more and had to install a wooden cutting board to keep the window from falling down. Yes, classy, all the way. If I went through a car wash without checking the window thereafter, my interior would get wet or riding over bumps would cause the cutting board to slide out of place. I should have checked out ALLDATA!
My husband and I were trying to mow the lawn for the first time this spring when our “new” lawnmower wouldn’t start. He tried to change the oil by pouring an entire quart into the engine. It started the next time with enough toxins to cause another hole in the ozone! If we had perused the Small Engine Repair Reference Center, we wouldn’t have had to bother our kind neighbor to fix it for us.
This just goes to show that before you take on any project you should do your homework and our databases can help you do that!
