The repair shelf

Small repairs around the house and what each one took.

Lamp cord

October 21, 2026

Replaced the frayed cord with a new one and a proper strain relief. It was safer than it looked, but not by much.

Bike chain

October 9, 2026

Cleaned and oiled after a winter outside. It still skips in the smallest gear, so a new one is on the list.

The dripping tap

September 21, 2026

A new washer cost almost nothing. Finding the right size took three trips to the hardware shop.
