I have an uncanny fixer upper ability.
I am able to scavenge older smartphones for components and "brickbuild" working ones, I can 'fix' older consoles and make functional repairs. They are never extremely well or look great but they are creative at least.

Here is a fix 5 minute fix for an Power A Switch (one) Pro Controller.

Its a cable controller I bought as I bought my switch back in 2019 (? I honestly don't remember the exact year could look it up but Wayne 🤷🏽‍♀️).

Iver the years the rubber topping on the left stick eroded and crumbled more and more, I fixed what I could with super glue but rubber and glue aren't best friends to begin with. So two days ago the rubber started to turn into a fine dust and this made the control unpleasant to use long term. Putting on rubber covers from another controller could have helped but I didn't wanted to sacrifice anything from a working controller and I don't want to buy a new one either. So I came up with this solution instead.

Be thankful I haven't documented my RGB lighting Xbox controller repair, the designer and production company would rotate in disbelief. :D

My house and I are in couples therapy. It keeps saying it 'needs more work' and I keep saying I 'need more money.' The contractor is just a mediator at this point. 🏠🔨

Spent the morning clearing the mud and accrued cruft off the yard drive at our house today, which involved a lot of shoveling and edge cutting with a builder's shovel (no specialist tools for us, no sir) - in the constant rain, and so literally soaked to the skin.

Normally, I'd have been inside putting more stud rail up, but the electricians have finally come (OMFG) and there isn't room enough for all of us to work in the same space. Those people on DIY rescue wotsit must have some interesting personal space issues behind the scenes, or else they're all saints.

Chip and Joanna Gaines have gifted us with a new special: their farmhouse fireplace. Just burning wood for two hours.

On my list for next year: figure out something I can film for hours and call it a yule log and rack up those YouTube dollars.

Before and after time!! A local lady brought in this old framed family tree, faded, brittle and torn, and asked me if I could fix it up it somewhat. I’d never done anything like this before, but she said there was no pressure and to just see what I could do. First photo is the before, 2nd photo is after.
She was happy! 😊
