As someone who's primarily skilled in IT, I often find myself helping friends and family with simple tasks that feel like a breeze to me – like swapping out a graphics card or adding more memory. I really wonder though, for professionals in trades like home improvement, what are those jobs that you end up rolling your eyes at because you think, 'This is something anyone could handle themselves!'? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Honestly, cleaning is one of those things everyone thinks they can do well, but most don’t know the right techniques or products for different tasks. For example, using WD40 incorrectly can create more problems than it solves. People need to recognize the right tools for the job!
Changing HVAC filters and cleaning coils is another task that seems simple but most homeowners avoid. Many would rather pay someone to do it, even though it can be done regularly in just a few minutes. You'd be surprised at how many wait for a major breakdown instead of doing this basic maintenance!
I totally agree! I had to call someone because I made the mistake of taking off too much and couldn’t get it back on. I’ll stick to quick cleans without removing covers from now on!
Wait, what do I use for squeaky hinges then? I’ve always relied on WD40!
