I used a frugal fix to extend the life of my pool vacuum - duct tape! A million and one uses. The duct tape held together for several weeks, until I received a coupon and bought a new vacuum.

I got a recliner from a relative for free and it was broken, probably from moving it 700 miles, but I decided I wanted to fix it rather than keep looking for a recliner. I had been looking for one for a few months. I ended up figuring out the problem with it, which was that the bolts on which the chair pivoted to recline were snapped off. I just spent $2 for a few new bolts and the chair has been stable ever since. I did something similar.

A perfectly good chair continues to serve perfectly well. We all need to do more of the same instead of trashing things that can easily be salvaged. Peace. Hats off to you NCN!

The front legs are actually 4x4s, which my brother replaced the original legs when when they broke. I was happy to get it. The fabric is dated, but it's still in good condition--which is pretty good considering how much the various family cats have loved it.
