One thing I really enjoy is fixing things, especially when the thing to fix and the fix itself are cheap.
I had this fan that was mostly working but sometimes struggled to get started. Turns out it’s a capacitor issue which can be replaced for $3 and 20 minutes.
Better than getting a whole new fan.
