Bodge JobsIf 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.

This also comes with age.I spent a summer working with a guy who put lead on roofs. At 16 I wouldn't think twice about climbing one handed up a rickety 40 foot tripple extension ladder with a 30lb roll of lead on my shoulder.
Couple of months ago, my neighbour came round with his ladder to help fix a leaking gutter, which was maybe 20' up, I climed up that and felt distinctly uncomfortable, and get straight back down again. He fixed it in the end, I just skulked about on the ground.
