DIY Fixer Life

The bench outside the office was a disaster zone of splintered wood and crooked bolts, so I pulled out my toolbox and turned it into an impromptu art installation with duct‑tape loops that kept people from tripping. I grabbed spare screws I’d hoarded for years and made each one into a tiny sculpture; it felt like building a little world that could hold the table together. No manuals, no overplanning—just the feel of metal against wood and my instinct saying, “This works.” A grateful neighbor hugged me and said her day was brighter because I turned brokenness into something useful, which is what I'm all about. I’m exhausted, but it feels like a small victory that I can keep doing this even when I forget to eat or sleep. #FixerLife 😊
