Be Careful of Good Intentions

We recently had a solinoid stop working on our coach. There were two in the general area. A neighbor said he knew how to fix them. I thought how lucky i was........... He pulled them out and left the wires hanging , that was over a month ago. if i mentioned maybe hooking them back up , "will when i get some time" Finally got tired of asking and went on line found a guy 30 min. and $70 done. I thought I was too old to learn another lesson

Ain't it the truth. I'm always amazed at some of the things I do and should really have known better.

It's not unusual for Free to be the Most Expensive Option!

With a digital camera or phone never disconnect wires without taking pictures.Makes it easier to make it look like it did before disconnecting.

WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT:bangh ead:
one reason is they were located 2 inches further than my arms could effectively reach. that is why longer reach mechanic was used.
