My uncle thinks he is a Mr-fix-it.
Nothing could be further from the truth… Everything he touches turns to garbage.
Take, for example, his most recent household repair attempt. My aunt plus uncle have constantly had these attractive hardwood floors. Well I guess they decided that they would rather have carpeting. My uncle decided he would be the one to install this carpeting. Once it was all done he invited the whole family over to admire his handiwork. I knew it would be bad however I didn’t know how bad until I saw it. The corners were all cut wrong plus then patched with carpet fragments. It was truly apparent. He carpeted the bathroom floor. Also he carpeted over the Heating plus Air Conditioning vents on the floor. I didn’t realize this until the furnace kicked on plus I observed that the carpet started to bow upwards on certain parts of the floor. My father asked his brother if he was going to cut out the vents. My uncle said no. He said the vents were ugly plus that he liked it better this way. Then he proceeded to take nails plus hammer them around the vents so they wouldn’t bow up. He ruined that attractive hardwood floor. Besides, rugs are dirty. I can’t imagine having to breath heated air that is being run through a dirty carpet for months on end. That can’t be good for the furnace either. My father tried saying as much however my uncle just ignored him. I can’t wait to see what he does when the furnace breaks down. I bet he tries to repair that himself too.
