What I did this weekend.
People that know me personally know that lately I’ve been having a B.O. problem. Because of our boiler being broke, but frankly that’s no excuse. I’ve called a plumber who was “gonna pass by asap, as soon as he’s got time”. I waited for a week, in fact, still no news from the guy, but after a week I took matters into my own hands. I sourced the exact same boiler second hand from somewhere in Holland for 40 Euros, nearly new.
Well, the “exact same boiler” turned out to be “nearly the exact same boiler” as it was set up for Natural gas, while we run on propane.
Now what to do?
Google it!
So after some clicking I found out that the only difference between the two is the size of the jets, so it came down to taking both apart and swapping the jets, which I did.
So what did I learn?
Well, about boilers and gas and jet sizes, but more importantly about how digital is affecting the economy.
We are not evolving to, but are already in, an era where it’s not about whether you know how to do something, but whether you know where to learn it.
I hope my plumber reads this.
