Maker Movement / Mending Things

Having finally received my E&T and read the section on repairing consumer items I wondered how many people here  actually mend/make things?

To start thing off I have attached a couple of pictures of recent repairs I have made. Did it make sense to make these repairs? I think so.

  • Failed washing machine pump. It's not the bearings, it was not at all noisy. Anyway, the machine was over 9 years old, and probably the motor would not last much longer. If it were only 4 or 5 years old I'd attempt a repair. I've spent too much time effort and money keeping old electrical thinks limping smi-reliably along. Anyway, for the sake of domestic harmony it was more diplomatic to agree to a new machine.over-ruled attempts at repairs.
