Good Lord ! How is it a supposedly educated society has to be taught how to repair a decent item? Are these college educated puke’s showing the lesser educated how to extend manufactured good’s? As a kid I had the opportunity to befriend older people for chores and got to see how they wasted nothing (hardware/CLOTH...ETC...) I thought to myself these people didn’t get old because they were stupid ...they got old and passed on to me unknowingly the value of items that I/we could not produce ourselves...and their in lies the value ....
