Mrs. Fix-It

What do you get when you take one chair in need of repair . . .

And add it to one tool kit, secured from the car of Yours Truly . . .

Our office chairs were very expensive once upon a time. The chair you see pictured is used daily by our students; it’s the third or fourth chair that has needed its arm chair pads replaced.

The college has always sent someone to do the install once the new pads have arrived , but today, the job fell to me. I could have put in a work order, but I figured it would be easy – especially considering that I’ve taken a lawn mower’s engine and cleaned the carburetor before.

In hindsight, I probably should have gotten someone to turn the chair over. It was h-e-a-v-y, but I forged ahead with my mind on the task at hand.

The only issue I had was that my little car-kit screwdriver wasn’t very long. I made it work, though, and before too long, I had a lovely little chair sitting before me.

Excuse the dirty seat. I have no idea how those spots got there.

I guess you can call me Mrs. Fix-It given my penchant for doing things myself.

    Chairs are SO much heavier than they look. Its all that weight in the center which makes it so awkward to maneuver.

    I need a new office chair for my home – I actually want a new desk too – ROOM MAKEOVER!
