1. If you can't find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the
tip, it's an improved screwdriver.
2. Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.
3. Despite what you may have been told by your mother, praying and
cursing are both
helpful in home repair ... but only if you are working alone.
4. Work in the kitched whenever you can ... many fine tools are there,
and you are close to the refrigerator.
5. If it's electronic, get a new one ... or consult a twelve-year-old.
6. Stay simple minded: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see
if the tank is
empty; try turning it to the "on" switch; or just paint over it.
7. Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while
taking it apart and
it suddenly starts working, you have healed it.
8. Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, throwing, and
sharing sometimes
DOES help.
9. If something look level, it is level.
10. If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
11. Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, then it
isn't stupid.
