FML - Fix my life

So do you remember my last post about the restraining arm on the jeep? Well that one ended up getting mangled too. So I figured out that a flexible “strap” would be better - and it is, this one has been installed now for months with no issue.


The dashboard displays on the boat had become completely clouded over - not ideal, not being able to, see your fuel gauge or speed etc (although we had that on the gps screen also). 

Look at it now! Like brand new!

I stained the outdoor gardens. Don’t they look great?!

No photos, but other things fixed:

Boat steering wheel had gone really stiff and think it was because of air having got trapped in the hydraulics. So, thank you YouTube and our dockmaster’s advice, think I have resolved the issue - will not bore you with details except to tell you that it involves hydraulic oil and a tube.

Patrick’s outdoor bathroom toilet had been leaking a very small but steady stream of water. I hate wasting water so I got that fixed too. I first replaced the flapper but that didn’t resolve it so I did a bit more work and installed a seal to work with the flapper.

Work in progress: shed roof leaks during the rain
