@mac63 I speak a little okinawan
I am reading that your wife is very proud of you and your skills. She doesn't want to bother you, as she sees how hard you work and struggle to get enough rest.
. She wants to show she can do things herself and not have to bother you. Unfortch ...she is not blessed in the mechanics dept ... Her skills lie elsewhere...not in fan repair.
In a Perfect World ...all of us would only do that which we know we do well and avoid or find someone else to do the things they are good at but we are not. Barring this , cluster f---- and learning experiences tend to occur frequently.
in other words...that's Life.
She may fear your criticism and therefore not ask for help or tell you the mishap that has occurred
Perhaps this was a fun exercise for her ....rather like when my brother took Dad's watch apart ....He IS mechanically inclined however, and was able to reassemble it back to working order
Fans are much better to practice on than automotive brakes and nuclear reactors
...and no one was hurt.
Accentuate her positives...and allow her to shine where she shines effortlessly. This way no one's self esteem is damaged.
We all have talents ....just not in fan repair
