Naah, I can fix this one's screen for about $60 all-in, and I'd do the RAM/SSD upgrade to a replacement netbook anyway (plus I already bought the RAM/SSD).

Anyway, I hate throwing out stuff, and would like the daughter to realize that (1) someone has to fix the stuff she breaks, and (2) stuff can be fixed rather than thrown away and replaced.

The fix-it projects are kind of piling up, though. On the backlog now:
- Daughter's netbook
- Kitchen sink faucet leak (fixed - $15 in parts and a $11 basin wrench)
- Kitchen garbage disposal/drain jamming/clogging (still haven't gotten up the motivation to get in there)
- OTR microwave door hinge (still figuring that one out, may take some jerry-rigging)
- Two ancient food processors need re-wiring w/ switches
- 911 CV joint (been a total PITA but EASY Porsche appears to have come through with a CV flange not attached to a $150 complete axle assembly)
- MacBook screen and intermittent shutdown
- Dryer vent hose
- Broken floor tile in kitchen
- Sagging plasterboard in study from prior roof leak (this will be a hire-it-out I suspect)
- Treehouse roof leak (temporarily "fixed" with a tarp and some binder clips, how white-trash of me or should I say yellow-trash)
- Vanagon spongy brakes and spoingy shocks
- Son's electric model train not working (big crisis since it traditionally runs around the tree delivering presents on XMas Day)
- Son's R/C helicopter tail rotor busted (by daddy)
- and the list goes on . . .
