Garage
Stijn!!

Yea, that is crazy money. The key was painted to match of course.



My garage project of the day was to "fix" my gas grill. The electric igniter died and no more sparks. I feel sure that is the first part to be put on and they build the grill around it. Idiotic engineering at the pinnacle. Instead of taking the entire grill apart and fighting the process I cut a small slot at the bottom of the facia and using LONG needle nose pliers I got the wires disconnected and labeled. I had purchased a replacement igniter on Amazon for 9 bucks. They were 29 bucks at the site for the manufacturer. Getting the part in place is not bad with my access slot, but hooking up the wires is going to need a proctologist and his remote manipulators. Ain't no way. So I did a rather inelegant solution. It works fine but a strip of aluminum screwed in with self tapping screws hold it tightly in place. It works perfect and that is the important part.
It would fit in on the "There I fixed it" site but I ain't taking photos of it.
