28.0 PHOTOGRAPH REPAIR PROBLEM - DO-IT-YOURSELF - DIY TIPS

Have you ever been in the middle of a home repair job when you realized you needed a part or perhaps some advice? However, when you arrived at the hardware store, you were unable to describe the problem.

Instead of trying to explain, take a picture. A picture is worth a thousand words. Use a Polaroid camera to take a photo of the section of plumbing (for example) you were trying to fix. Also take some measurements, such as the width of the pipe. Armed with this information a hardware clerk should be able to help you find the right parts, tools, or patching material.

A Polaroid also works for car repair, carpentry, and a host of other things.
