Mr. Fix It strikes again :)

Posted on February 14, 2024


So not much going on here. Mr. Ken hasn’t done anything goofy lately, so I can’t even write about his antics.

A few days ago, Mr. Ken announces that he needs to put on his work clothes. No, this isn’t a suit and tie, but old pants and an old shirt. He rushes upstairs and changes his clothes.

He then started muttering and disappears down to the basement. I hear a lot of banging going on down there. Mr. Ken emerges from the basement with his arms full of what looks to be spray cans. I am thinking to myself, “Has he lost it and will he start spray painting graffiti?”

He goes outside for a few hours. I hear more banging, but I am afraid to look to see what he is doing.

He comes back inside and triumphantly announces, “It is all fixed.” I’m happy, but I have no idea what he fixed. He then tells me he fixed the gashes in our aluminum siding where a rogue snowblower hit it.

I asked how he fixed it and he promptly replies, “I used body filler and vacuum paint.” Well, actually he didn’t say vacuum paint, but that is what I heard. 🙂

Here are the before and after pictures:

For those in the know, body filler is something (which is a mystery to me) that is used to repair dents in cars. I am fascinated by how Mr. Ken’s mind works since he figured out that this would work well for this project.

What projects have you been up to?
