I did hvac and plumbing for a few years in my 20s. There isn’t much in my house that can break that I can’t have fixed in an afternoon. I’ve fought with broken bolts longer than it takes me to change a water heater. That’s the problem I got into. The final straw for me was the junction of the hard line and the brake hose on the front brakes. I fought that thing for hours and finally just said I’m done. Pure defeat.
