Year and years ago my brother and I had to go to my parent's cabin because they had just been there and noticed a small leak outside. We turned the water on, found the leak and went to a local hardware store to get the copper line we needed. We walked in and being a teenager I noticed a pretty young lady behind the counter. She took my brother to the copper fittings and also sold us a length of copper. She asked if I knew how to solder and I told her "Why no I can't". She said "It's easy" so she gave me a quick lesson. I paid for the parts and free instruction and headed back to the cabin. My brother looked at me when we got in the truck and said, "You know how to solder a copper line." I told him I did but a refresher course was always nice to receive especially from a pretty young lady. He just shook his head.

Being able to maintain and repair things yourself is a great skill!
