I had to clean out the filter on my dishwasher. It was starting to funk. Who would have thought that half the damn dishwasher had to come apart just to get to the filter.

A coffee bean grinder. Reverse engineered the broken piece and had it 3D printed. How about that.

Spent last weekend helping my son work on his 2000 Outback. Replaced plugs, plug wires, valve cover gaskets, coolant, thermostat and the front passenger side axle. It was a greasy day.

Bought a lot of busted up drones and components on Ebay. Two had relatively minor issues ($0 to fix and get flying) and one needed maybe $20 in parts to get flying.


I'll keep the best and sell the others.

Found a dehumidifier on the side of the road, left for the trash pick up. My handy husband and I carried it home, took it apart, did a general cleaning and repaired the wall plug.


Works like a charm. We are happy bc those things are expensive and our old one was not doing the job anymore.

The Jet bandsaw broke... some of the tires that wrap around the upper and lower wheels came apart and everything went to heck....

I bought new replacements on Amazon, putting them on now. You need hands and fingers as strong as a gorillas to stretch them...

Got the back tire off the John Deere 260 rider, I was going to do the breaks, two little brake shoes in a four inch drum, until I found out it would cost the same to do the brakes on my truck.

I replaced all the light switches in our condo with the rocker type, much more convenient. I used lighted ones for switches that control lights and non-lighted ones for outlets, ceiling fans, etc.
