I used to call a pro for every drip, not anymore

I always believed faucet fixes were too tricky for me. My kitchen tap ran nonstop last week, so I gave it a go. I found a guide that explained the common parts inside. After turning off the water, I dismantled the handle and stem. There was a small, worn washer that needed swapping. I used one from a basic repair kit I had. Putting it back together was straightforward. Now the faucet works fine, and I feel dumb for not trying earlier.

Trying to mount my monitor on a bamboo wall gave me a seasick workweek

I was staying in a bamboo hut in Bali, trying to set up my remote office because the desk was too low for my monitor. I thought mounting it on the wall would be easy, but the bamboo was so flexible that nails just bent it. I rigged it with climbing rope and duct tape into a swing. For a week, my screen swayed with every keystroke, making me seasick. What's the weirdest thing you've used to set up your workspace?
