That's a list of repairs that someone thought I was crazy to do
myself, instead of buying new as they would have. I figured you guys
might have had the same experience.

They *already* think that I'm crazy, so they don't bother
mentioning specific examples. :-)

I've never had anybody explicitly call me crazy for fixing my own stuff, but
when the pipes under my mobile home froze and split, I had to be crazy
to fix them! (about 18" high crawlspace, on sand.)

Thanks,
