Your wife has been bugging you to get the dent in the car fixed. So you took it to the body shop for an estimate. And you realized if you paid the body shop it would mean you have to cut back on buying beer. So today on Handyman’s Corner I’m going to show you how to fix it for a fraction of the cost.

Experts claim we can mend many everyday products ourselves, while iFixit, a free online repair guide, even says that we should ‘never take broken for an answer.’
For many this is not news, but repairing broken items offers many benefits, with the most important being reducing waste. Each time we throw things that in our eyes no longer work, we not only clutter our planet with rubbish and pollute it but also waste resources like trees, metal, energy, and manpower required to manufacture these products. This is a deep issue that could be helped if more people repaired their things instead of trashing them at the first opportunity.

You push the button in and then it slowly comes back out on its own so that the water stops after a set amount of time.
Load More Replies... Another benefit repairment offers is saving money. And who doesn’t love that? Often, fixing something is cheaper than buying new, and even simple repairs like sewing a button or a patch on clothing extend their life for years. In the process, you can learn useful skills like sewing, using tools, and following instructions. This boosts our self-reliance and makes us feel more accomplished, as fixing items is hugely satisfying.
And even though the quality of products we purchase is getting worse (so we would buy more), Gordon-Byrne, the executive director of the Repair Association, still believes it’s important to repair the ones we currently have, as most likely, future products will continue to decline.

“Basically, you take a thing that’s [crappy] today and you buy something that’s [crappier],” she says. “You’re really making your situation even less long-term because the product that you’re buying, even though it may come with a 90-day warranty, it’s not fundamentally going to last any longer than the one that you’ve already gotten frustrated with.”
However, if the cost to repair your item is higher than what you would spend for a new one, it might be time to think about purchasing a new one. Otherwise, definitely consider a fix.

That’s what’s called an “above-ground pool,” yes? This is simply abover-ground.
“It’s the elastic fibers, like the Lycra or the elastane, in the fabric breaking down at a different rate to the cotton,” explained Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald, author of Modern Mending: How to Minimize Waste and Maximize Style. However, the stretching out could be avoided in the first place by buying tougher jeans made out of 90-100% cotton. They might not be as comfortable at first, but after some wear, they get comfier and tend to last longer.

This is exactly the solution the previous owner of my classic car came up with for the secondary closing required on the bonnet of UK cars. I managed to buy the proper handle for the locking mechanism and the proper secondary latch, so it is has finally been removed. The hilarity is that the bonnet accounts for almost half the weight of the car and is a weight-lifting excerise to open it. Still, it might "blow open" if the car achieved sufficiently high speed - such as by freefalling off the Burj Khalifa!

Tech Repair Client Did This To ‘Combat Overheating’
Uncle Panda 7 months ago
Way back when, I stopped a buddy from drilling through a strange block under the passenger seat. He wanted to run speaker cables through it. It was the computer.
Robert T 7 months ago
So cleaning the fan radiator wasn't an option then? I had a Sony laptop that sounded like a jet engine whenever it was turned on. Had to clean the radiator, and to do that properly required complete removal of the heatsink and application of fresh thermal paste. Worked for a while, but would quickly get clogged up again.

I use a cooling pad. I've never had an issue with overheating.

That's why they make laptop coolers you set your laptop on if it's overheating.

Asked The Body Shop To Fix A Broken Bumper As Cheap And Fast As They Could. 20 Minute And 10 Bucks Later
Tim Douglass 7 months ago
I'd like to find me a body shop that would only charge 10 bucks for 20 minutes of labor! Last I checked my local shop is over $150/hour so that's a $50 labor charge, plus $25 for the rivets, and another $75 "environmental fee".

Screen Cracked? No Problem
ana-the-light-fury 7 months ago
That’s actually a good idea—the only problem is that it might wear off loll. Or what if you need the bottom half of the screen?? (Unless you were to remove it I guess, but then if you keep taking it off and putting it back, it would eventually not stick anymore and…..you know what, maybe it’s not such a good idea lol…)

Boss Hit A Pole Today On The Job. This Is How They Fixed It
Kabuki Kitsune 7 months ago
Depending on the pole type, they typically have to wait for the telecom guys to come out and remove their own wires before they can replace the poles. So this will do to hold it in place while whoever owns the line itself can come out and move them before a new pole can be put in.

Michael Largey 7 months ago
What was "reputed"? That it was a university or that it was a building?
Kabuki Kitsune 7 months ago
Seen this kind of thing a couple times. Room was larger at one point, and got partitioned off. Rather than rip out the wiring and the fans, they just removed the offending blades and left it. I'd be willing to bet that the walls here are actually removable themselves, so if they later decide they need to change the floor plan of it, they can take the walls down and put the fan back in use.
