If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

What?
Shonky electrical work in an Australian house? Now there's a surprise. I shudder whenever I look at our wiring. They're a bit stroppy over here about doing you own electrics so we got someone in to wire in our aircon and look at the porch light at the same time (the main circuit breaker tripped if ever you turned it on). He took a look at it and was pretty sure it was being fed from a different phase that bypassed the fuse box, said "too tricky" and buggered off. No one else will touch it so we're left with a non-working light. Slack bastards the lot of them.
