I look most everything I need to know how to do on YouTube.

Learned simple plumbing like cleaning drains & pipes to repairing faucets to give me foundational information. Then I wing it from there.

Learned some truck repair things off YT also. Replaced my EGR valve, tail lamps & headlamps. Oil change I just take to my mechanic though I do all the maintenance on my lawn tractor. Also came up with a great idea on how to get the drive belt back on my brand new lawn tractor when a tree branch I mowed over popped the belt off. I couldn't budge the spring that needed moved so set up a pully system to do it for me.

When one lives alone it is important to be as independent as possible. Some things I don't have the tools for & they would be way too expensive to buy or sometimes I just don't have the muscle. I try first but sometimes I just have to hire work done around my farm.....I always try the DIY first
