Honestly, hope more people start fixing their own stuff
This has inspired me. My Instant Pot has been throwing a lot of errors lately, I bet I can rig something up...
You know, of all the things to fix, an instant pot would make me nervous. Don't mess with the safety valve.
It's so satisfying fixing things
Especially when I find them near a dumpster or on the curb
I've recently been trying to focus on this! A few years ago I looked at my collection of various things I don't really need and realized how little I know about maintaining them properly; I just bought things with no regard to how long it would be around. If I were to actually do the recommended weekly maintenance on everything including home, it'd probably be a full time job. I've since taken a step back and slowly worked one thing at a time into my weekly schedule while minimizing, and it feels pretty rewarding. It changed the way I value things, both at their peak of function and that have a small issue I wouldn't have considered fixing before.
