I, the least handy person you know, fixed my shower all by myself. It only took three trips to the store and about thirty bucks and I can now turn my shower on and off with out vice grips. Vice grips are a favored way of fixing things in my family. I have a chair in my living room that if you look closely enough you see that it is held together with them. I didn't do that, I inherited that from my parents and my dad put them on 15 years ago and it is still "fixed". My wife prefers things to be really fixed because her dad isn't as easily satisfied as mine was. So, despite the usual set backs that always befall my little DIY projects, I did it.
I was smart enough to buy a little hacksaw and avoid cutting my hand off with my air cutter thing. It was obvious after I assessed the situation that air tools could only lead to bad things. My dad was un-powered tool guy. He had a scroll saw that you had to pedal and I learned to use a saw on it because as he said "when it hurts, stop peddling ". Power tools do not give you that option and so I am wary of them. I also got to learn how to drill out a broken screw since as soon as I cut the handle off so I could turn the screw it broke off, no doubt due to the fact that it had been turned with vice grips for two weeks while I came up with my plan. I was psyched. I have a pretty extensive history of starting and getting bailed out. Once in Rapid City I tried to change the starter in my minivan because I had done it before on the crown vic. Long story short, I got my ratchet stuck with the bolt halfway out and had to tow it to a place where it took them longer to un-stick my wrench than install the starter. They asked me if I wanted it back and I told them to keep it as I was obviously unworthy of the tool. I wonder why it is with all of my theater tech experience I am usually unable to repair anything permanently. I have built chairs and benches, staircases and tables but no real world handy man shit. Oh well.
Great sets in MR. Check 'em out.
sometimes this song makes me cry.
This song always makes me bob my head, no matter who does it.
Have fun SG
