Last night, I installed a watter pressure boost pump in our house! Oh it's SOOO nice to have water pressure again! It was my first time EVER sweating pipe and I managed to do it and only get 1 third degree burn blister Doesn't even hurt today.

Carry on with normalcy lol.

Did most of the major fixes this weekend. Today's fixes were easy. Went to Longs to buy a couple packages of eraser pencil refills and refilled 2 of Mel's pencil erasers. Darn kid goes through 2 of those things in a week. You'd understand why if you saw her handwritting. <LOL> Also replaced the broken hair trap in the tub.
Big whooptidoo.

I restored my crashed computer yesterday. It is still acting a bit weird, kinda wobbly. But a big improvement over the black screen and DOS stuff that it was spitting out before the fix.

Re: Sign here if you repaired something today

This wasn't my day. Bumped into the kitchen table, knocking over my fruit punch, which spilled over my digital camera, which HAPPENED to be right there. Yup, after that spill, it was dead. Wouldn't power up.

With the amount fruit punch that spilled over it, I really thought this was a done deal, but what the heck, might as well try fix it.

Let me say, opening a compact digital camera up is not far from performing brain surgery. You have to be very careful with the micro-sized circuit boards, ribbon cables and lens assembly.

Carefully removed each screw (which almost each one were a different length and diameter ) and cracked open the case. I thought I'd break the tabs, but it came off without incident. Cleaned whatever fruit punch had leaked inside, which there was some on several circuit boards, probably causing a short.

Cleaned it up, put it back together and voila.. it works! Yay!

Kudos once again to Canon for making a camera that not only takes great photos, but is also somewhat self-serviceable. The technology in these digital cameras is amazing.

Installed magnetic latches inside grandma's kitchen cabinets. Now they close all the way without hanging open! Yay!

Re: Sign here if you repaired something today

Fixed a leak in my Trash compactor a few days ago. I think it got shook loose after the last earthquake in Hilo. Had to replace the whole drain and collar assembly. With the advice of a knowledgeable Home Depot guy, I got the job done.More Kudos for Hilo Home Depot .

Anyway, plumbing and electric usually frighten me, but I managed to fix it.

Financial repairs, rolling over the 401(k) from my former employer into an IRA investment account, as well as changing over a CD to a higher-interest rate.
