There, I Fixed It

No dish rack necessary

Hey, we're not all MacGyver. Sometimes our best DIY intentions end up a little - okay, or a lot - less than perfect. New website There, I Fixed It finds some of those more unfortunate "fixes" and records them for posterity's sake... and possibly the insurance company's too.

We are particularly terrified by the duct-taped airplane wing and the electrical pole being propped up by a two by four. See these and other bad ideas at There, I Fixed It, and tell us about any of your home jury-rigging experiences below. Link via UrbanDaddy.

Love this site. My bf sent me the link because it made him "reminded him of my methods" - just because I *once* used a butterknife to temporarily hold up a falling ceiling panel. :-p

I love the second pic. A messier version of how Mr. Bean secures his Mini.
