That was a morning. Guy coming from an HVAC company to give us a quote on a heat pump (no more gas appliances!). Before he arrives, horrible noises from the garbage disposal; by the time we figure out the source (a dime) it's stuck in there like a limpet. Give HVAC guy the $2 tour and while he's working on his quote I try to pry that dime out of there. And try. And try. Finally, sitting on the front porch going at it with wrecking bars, pliers, screwdriver, out it comes. Reinstall, all good.
@Agatha At least $130 worth of satisfaction. I wouldn't have minded replacing it, it's probably old enough to vote, but I'd rather spend that money on chocolate and booze.
I'm the same way, but I spend that money on antique sewing machines... which I will also need to fix. π
@ImagineThat
There's definitely some serious satisfaction from fixing items like that yourself. β€οΈ
