I know women’s lib and all…but…our guys are not always at home or in the vehicle with us, when an emergency arises.
Have your husband, brother or Dad teach you how to:
Handle an electrical fire...a stove fire..a chemical fire.
Turn off the water in your house in case a pipe breaks
Shut off breakers to the electric box
Shut off the gas or propane
What to do if you have a wood burner and a chimney fire starts
Change a tire, in case you can’t reach anyone (there are some tricks to know taking a tire off and putting one on) You can't just take the nuts off...you loosen them before you jack up the car, and it is the safe way....to avoid the car from falling off of the jack.
How to change a battery
How to clean a battery.
How to add anti freeze...and never while the vehicle is hot.
What to do if the vehicle doors are frozen shut.
Ask him what you need for an emergency kit in your vehicle. Make an emergency phone list in case you are stranded. Put a copy in his car, too.
How to add oil to your vehicle
How to replace a wiper blade
How to check steering and transmission fluid
Find out how to wire a lamp…..just because it’s fun to do
Better safe than sorry.
