16: When Duct Tape Just Isn't Enough




Not one of those funny (or at least intended to be)"100 unnatural uses for duct tape" type of books, this is for those actual, practical applications. It's a signpost for my type of mind, but I'm way more aware of jokes regarding the utility of duct tape than any actual worth. Sure, I've made a recent habit of attempting to replicate the appearance of a more mature human male, but this thing is talking a whole lot of another language.

Just from the back, this book has cures for broken gutters (do all houses have those?), frozen door locks (like ice?), mysterious leaks (mysterious like magical or mystery berry slurpees?), flooded basements (okay, you're probably exaggerating a tiny bit there) and knocking radiators (of which I've never seen an actual one in a home outside of movies where they exist only to handcuff victims to. Perhaps it is more of a further north thing?).

This was a free book from another life and vocation which I've obviously kept as it potentially held all manner of information not naturally passed onto me by either nature or nurture. You know, stuff that the internet could absolutely never hold...so, it's maybe more obviously a hedge against either the rapture or the complete dissolution of society.
