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.

The Netherlands Solution...Two weeks back we had airconditioning installed and the tradies typically installed the runoff pipe so it would flood our balcony until it eventually flowed over onto the patio below. This is despite the fact here's a drain hole about 1 metre from where they had the pipe coming out, so a simple piece of plastic tube would have averted the problem,
I've complained and thgey're coming back to fix it, but in the meantime I built a small dam of blu-tack around the base of the pipe directing all water to the far edge of the balcony so it drips directly into the rainwater run-off gutter. It took about a minute to make and works perfectly!
