Friday Five - A Few Small Repairs
Feb. 8th, 2020 09:37 am1. Can you do simple sewing repairs, such as replacing a button or rejoining a straight seam?
More or less. Sewing is not really one of those things that's in my wheelhouse, but I can get by until I can take something to a seamstress.
2. Can you change a flat tire?
Yes. Well - I can change to a donut, and have done so in the past. I can also do some simple auto checks and preventative maintenance, stuff like checking various fluid levels, and checking for wear on belts and hoses.
3. Can you plan and cook a simple meal?
I would joke and say, "no, every meal I cook is complicated." But I can actually make simple meals - usually stir-fries. They're pretty easy, and once you've memorized a sauce or two, you just grab some veggies and a protein and throw them into a hot pan for a few minutes.
4. Can you rewire a lamp?
I've never tried this, but I think if I found a decent set of instructions, I could do it. I have replaced power outlets and light switches, so I don't think that would be too difficult.
5. Are you a spender or a saver? Are you able to switch from one to the other on occasion?
I typically do switch from one to another. I'm not afraid to spend more on something that's of good quality and will save me having to buy another later on. And right now I'm saving with an eye towards a set of books I really want. So I'm a little of both.
