This week’s question: I was thinking about this as I was fixing a sliding screen door this past weekend that didn’t quite fit the track it was on. What has been your most triumphant home repair that saved you a good amount of money?
My washing machine failed on me a few years ago. It turned on, but just went clunkity-clunk. I took the whole thing apart and found that the plastic coupler that connected the motor and the wash tub had split in half. I brought the pieces to a local repair shop and found an identical coupler for about five bucks. When I put it all back together I wasn’t sure who felt more triumphant, me or my wife!
