There, I Fixed It
On the other side of Jane Fulton Suri's Thoughtless Acts is There I Fixed It, documenting "epic kludges and adventures in home pwnership", where a kludge is "an ill-assorted collection of poorly matching parts, forming a distressing whole."
Definitely less graceful than the makeshift doorstops and paper shades in Jane's book, these "quick fixes" take a seriously direct (sometimes ingenious, sometimes dangerous) route from broken to "repaired". Our favorite is the padlocked car-door: "Look, this is just how it's going to be from now on, okay?"
Submit your own handiwork and make Michel de Certeau proud.
A few more of our favorites after the jump.
