Pro tip: My friend bailed on our hiking trip to Mount Rainier last month, so I spent the whole Saturday fixing a squeaky floorboard in my hallway with a $5 tube of wood glue I found in the garage.

Anyone else end up tackling a weird home repair project after plans fall through?

Honestly that's the best kind of weekend fix. You start with one squeaky board and next thing you know you're checking every door hinge in the house. It's weirdly satisfying to solve a small, annoying problem with your own hands. Makes the whole canceled plan thing feel like a win. That five bucks of glue probably saved you from a much bigger headache later on too.

Totally get that feeling, Henry! But @spencer_davis is right about finding more projects, it's a slippery slope. That wood glue trick is solid for a quick fix, though sometimes you gotta add a screw if the board is really lifting.

Checking every door hinge is how you find the next ten projects, @the_henry, but at least the floor is quiet now.
