Sometimes you just have to shake your head and look the other way
When we are away Screwdrivers and Multigrips usually live in the car
but when the wheels drop off the ‘not old old but definitely not new’ golf ‘carry the clubs’ thingy aka cart/buggy (or something goes wrong with something that connects the wheels to the golf thingy) it appears they are allowed to take up residence next to the bed
Thinking about buying a new one 🤨 meant an hours drive down the Bruce Highway to try Airlie Beach and then on to Proserpine, which produced nothing – none in stock/ no call for that size – a size slightly different to the regular one he uses – one that folds up to just the right size to fit in the boot of the car when we’re travelling (and leave room for other things as well) – so it was back to the cabin to size up the situation and call on his ‘make do and mend’ mentality.
The repairs involved metal coil things, cable ties, straps and nuts/bolts
Hurrah for local hardware places
Not as elegant as a new one but a darn sight cheaper!
(It’ll hold until we leave for home and then he’ll have all summer to think about a replacement or a better repair)

Well he had to try I guess. At least he was able to fix his trusty buggy
And it kept him busy for a whole day. That’s got to be good for you. Unless you had to go with him.

Fixed and functioning, well done Him. I am surprised that such a simple thing as a golf cart broke down.

I can relate to making what you have work!! Great job.
Frequently the “Frankenstein” solution lasts as long as the new items.

You’re lucky you have a handy man there . If he can fix his golf cart then he can fix other things as well. The downside is, yes, you have to look the other way. It’s part of the package

Smiling in rueful sympathy – and glad the fix worked.

Ha! You are so right. Sometimes you do just have to look the other way. My husband is often “fixing” and making things last a little longer. In the main, it’s a good trait but some interesting things do happen. And it keeps them busy too.

Reminds me of a holiday in Greece and Mr E having to fix a wheel back onto his suitcase. We ended up in a back street hardware repair place with him and a rather large chap scrabbling around on the floor, and yes they fixed it. Day one of the holiday gone though!

Hurrah indeed for mend and make do. We hope it holds out for him.

I am so grateful for our garage where most(not all–some is on the kitchen counter at the moment)tinkering and repair take place.
