Last week I fixed two things in our house:
- A drawer that wouldn’t open and shut smoothly
- A gate latch that tended to catch and get stuck
Each repair took less than twenty minutes, including cleanup and putting my tools away.
Both problems had been bothering me every single day, for months on end. Now, I revel in the smooth action every time I open or close the drawer, or latch or unlatch the gate.
Why did it take me so long to complete both repairs?
