I successfully installed a new garbage disposal tonight, and if that doesn't seem like a big accomplishment, consider the fact that I once built a TV stand completely upside down.
@AriCohn how many youtube videos did you watch first on how to do it?
@mmasnick None!
S.O. definitely yelled at me to, but being a Real Man (tm), I forged ahead with only the instructions provided.
Cavemen didn't have YouTube and they figured it out, right?
@AriCohn pre youtube i woulda hired someone. post youtube, i'm like Mr. DIY/Home Depot is a second home.
@NatlSecCnslrs @mmasnick Now I'm thinking about all the things that could go wrong. Did I screw those wire nuts on well enough? Am I going to die in an electrical fire in my sleep? Do I *REALLY* want to take it all down to make sure like how I sometimes can't remember if I locked the door and go all the way back to make sure?
I was feeling so confident...
@AriCohn @NatlSecCnslrs @mmasnick Don't worry, if it's gonna fail, it won't be soon, it'll be in 5 years when your place floods while you're on vacation.
@LouisIngenthron @AriCohn @mmasnick Ohhhhh yeah that's the stuff that makes proximate cause so fun.
