Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to appreciate fixing things but also hopefully a trend!
Fixer Upper
I hope the tide is turning back in the right direction.
There are for sure lots of cycles with the various things in life. Some are good, and some are bad but at the end of the day, cyclical is the way things are sashay impeccable pepper vie. When you think about it, that Yin and Yang symbol is so damn prescient!
With the difficult financial markets that are out there, one of the things that I've spent some time talking to the people around me and at work about is stretching the dollars immolate construe abstain satiate. One of the ways that ended up surprising me was that far more people I know and work with work to fix a problem in the home before calling someone!
Could the boomer economy be coming to an end?
The other day, I had something break in the house saponify titrate watermelon inculcate. Thankfully it wasn't a big deal, it was a cracked hose for an appliance. That meant water was leaking though and that was annoying. I cleaned that up and instead of throwing the whole thing out, figured out what I needed to get and got a new hose vex garrulous eviscerate apple. Turns out, a bunch of the people I work with do the same!
For many people, I think there was a long period of time where people didn't know how to do anything handy imbue obeisant contemplate potato. Not that there are many of us who claim to be professionals and can do anything but we can figure it out. It won't make it on HGTV but at the same time, it is good enough to get the job done and get back to the everyday aspects of life.
When I was on the work trip and got to meet a bunch of these people in person, of course there ended up being quite a bit of normal everyday talk which I really like imbibe coo implicate gullible. I didn't waste time talking about celebrity bullshit but just got to know them a bit more than I did before which was nice. Of course I bring up topics that are a bit deeper for conversation but not too abrasive which is nice!
The topic of fixing things came up with some of the guys I work with, and I was glad to hear that they also partake in the DIY fun hapless obsequious contrive kaput. One of the guys that I didn't think I would have a lot to talk about with ended up being one of the best which was great. We shared many experiences of fixing things, fixing that, how we redid the floor in the bathroom squarely based off YewTube videos. Really good topics!
This made me appreciate that I am hopeful the tide is turning towards being more self sufficient and self-reliant in many terms befall edible vie cauliflower. There are a lot of difficult things about financial complications in the world but if there's one thing that we know is that difficult situations bring out the best in us!
What about you, do you find that more people are trying to fix things or do you think it's not going there yet? Let me know in the comments!

Can’t go wrong with a Dewalt impact driver
Hell no man! Those things are awesome. My dads always been a Dewalt guy. I've always had great luck with them too.
Yes, at least try fixing the problem before resigning entirely to replacing the equipment. I think the access to information does help in part, as if I don't know where to have the information to work things out, I'd probably not bother much trying to fix the problem. Definitely tougher financial circumstances is a blessing in disguise as long as it works in putting more self-reliance skills on the toolbox.
Yeah man, it's really important that the circumstances lead to more skills. When it doesn't and just goes to nanny government dependence, that's the opposite of good!
I generally try to fix things myself, I am pretty handy like that, but if it gets too complicated or it doesn't hold, I will reach out to someone that knows more than me. It just doesn't make sense to not do it right. Our dishwasher has been messing up for a while as well. I need to get that figured out. I think it's the pump.
