"Funny repair, with the help of grease and a nail" - What is not asked to do

It reminded me of a story when I was asked to do renovation of a house in the village in the old way, that is, the whitewashing of the walls, and the painting of doors, window frames and floors. I was even confused, now they do not repair it like that, I did this only in my childhood in the 80s, I had to remember.

The door does not stick to the stove

I come, the lower door does not hold on the old stove, I looked, I immediately saw the reason.

From time to time, the plates that were responsible for fixing were bent back, bent over, slightly smeared with lithol, and everything worked.

I asked the hostess to close it so that she knew that she understood how it was done, it worked out, great. But here is a new request.

The problem with the bedside table

In time, the bedside table is the same age as the stove, and it has the same problem, the door does not stay closed, it is loosened, and is shaking.

Only one solution came to mind, to fix it, the hostess found an old nail, and made a fixer from it. Not aesthetically pleasing, but reliable and practical, I spent 15 minutes on this ridiculous repair.

Yes, some will say that this rubbish has a place in the trash can, but such things are still found in people, especially in the elderly. Therefore, I see no reason to refuse such a trifle, especially the hostess from regular customers, and lives nearby.
