70 Redneck Fixes That Shouldn’t Work But Somehow Get The Job Done
If you can look at a broken situation and decide that a bungee cord, half a roll of duct tape, and complete confidence in yourself are all it’s going to take, you might just be a Redneck. And that’s not a bad thing! You can find a fix before someone else even finds the number of a professional.
Redneck engineering gets a bad rap because the results are objectively unhinged and occasionally load-bearing. But the internet has been collecting the best of them to give them the respect they deserve. These are the fixes that should not work, the repairs that would make a structural engineer dry heave, and the solutions so aggressively practical that they loop back around to brilliant. Duct tape was involved in most of them.

only problem is that looks like black electrical tape, not gorilla/duct tape. so, it's not gonna last long at all. but other than that, it's not a bad temporary fix. it doesn't LOOK bad or anything, it's just not gonna last, especially if he lives in a hot, humid climate, like the Deep South (which, judging by the nature of this fix, I feel confident in saying he does. LOL)
