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.

When I first moved in with mictogirlwe rented the world's tiniest flat. In TWTF the ubend for the 'kitchen' sink was mummified in many, many layers of shiny sliver duct tape. We soon figured out that this was an attempt to stop the thing leaking.
A failed attempt.
After a few weeks of putting up with the drip and not being able to use the under-sink cupboard, I resolved to sort it.
at least 45 minutes of sawing and hacking the tape off with various blades and swearing profusely was followed by about 2 minutes work unscrewing the plug hole, applying a dab of plumber's mait and screwing the plug hole back in.
Fuck knows how long it had taken to apply all the tape, and the cupboard shelf was completely rotten from the damp.
