In a future blog, I will list a number of assumptions I had made when renting for the first time.
I think it's a good idea to aquire as much knowledge as possible. Anything from how to install new doorknobs to replicating your mom's meatloaf -- learn it. You never know when you'll have to use that information. Right now, I wish I'd sat and watched the plumber work on the tub last time we had a problem (however creepy that might be), so I wouldn't have to wait around for someone else to fix it. "Someone else" won't care about it as much as you do.
