REFLECTION QUESTION
At Home Repair an Item

What was the last item you repaired? How did you do it and what was the outcome? What are your favorite resources for learning how to repair items yourself?

I used an oscillating tool to cut about an inch out of the PVC so I could snap it around the base. It's not pretty but it serves its purpose.

  I agree! It is a challenge, especially with all of that hidden sugar. Keep up the good work! It will get easier (that's what I tell myself, too).
