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.

Oh yes. A nice Green Garden hose housewarming gift. Put it to better use.
- Huge holes in the plaster... covered with wallpaper.
- Drip edge on the back porch.... installed upside down, on the composition tarpaper flat roof. One could raise carp on the pond that formed.
- Leak under the kitchen sink. Rotted out the plywood. Attracted and provided moisture for ants. They brought in about 5 kg of dirt. Found only after ripping out what was left of the under cabinets.
Infectious I s'pose. The neighbors watched me working my ass off and started fixing up their places too. The next house got the hairy stinkeyeball goingover before I bought it.
