A leak from behind our washing machine. Turned out to be the connection between the water pipe and the filler hose. All sorted. :)

Replaced the motor in our aging Dyson vacuum. What a pain in the backside. Will probably replace the whole lot next time. Though the saving is £25 vs £300+

New greenhouse leaking like a sieve, applied silicone to all the most obvious points, (keeping fingers crossed). :)

Neighbour kindly gave us wooden staging for our greenhouse (top only). Then I remembered one of our cupboards had wooden slats (not needed as very top shelf) so 4 legs sawed to the desired height. :):):)

Our remote controlled garage door. Went out this morning and it opened/closed fine but on our return it wouldn't open. A quick look at the control panel showed it was totally dead so I checked the plug fuse and when that proved to be OK decided to open up the control panel. I could immediately see the courtesy light bulb had blown and after a little searching located the little circuit fuse board fuse which had blown along with it. Luckily I had a spare so replaced that, put in a new LED bulb, closed it all back up and bingo it's now working just fine. :)

Just replaced the security light on the side of our house. Cable all neatly tacked along the wall, about 12 feet up. Me no like high ladders :erm:

My Braun shaver. It'd started making funny noises and I couldn't work out why. I took off the head and couldn't see anything inside but then noticed a tiny thin piece of black plastic on the floor. I nearly threw it away but closer inspection of the shaver head revealed it to be one of 2 tiny clips which sit under each end of the foil. Clipped it back in place and voila... :)

Serendipity Osem or just pure genius?

I've just fixed our patio door lock which had seized up, it was a case of desperation, in this weather need a through draught. :)

Desperation is the mother of invention in this heat. :D
