LFTL progress #4
Had time to get started on this pile today...
I sorted some of the small stuff into ziploc bags and gathered a pile of electronics that needed attention.
Most of these just need batteries.
But as we can see here..
4 year olds are freaking crazy.
They stuffed PLAY DOH inside the body of this RC car. 😶
It was hard and not moving without some serious coaxing.
Disassembly time!
It still took some prying to get that shit out, but at least it should work now. 🤣
Poor Elsa.
River wanted to color her I guess.
Most of this came off with some isopropyl alcohol, it's not perfect, but it works!
Meanwhile, i'm dreaming up ways to make this something I get paid for...
maybe a toy repair shop in our garage?
I could teach people how to solder and fix stuff if they wanted...
How's this look?
I have no idea if this would work in my area or not, but it's worth a shot right?
I could set my own schedule and hopefully make a little extra money. 🤔
Chris comes home tomorrow for a week. I'm sure he'll be able to help me form a clear plan for this. he's great at stuff like that. i'm just like, give me something to fix. ha!
That's all for today steem fam. thanks for reading! ✌💗

I million yesses on your business idea are you kidding me, that's friggin DOPE!!!!!!!!
I love that you are fixing things when other people would just throw them away as unsalvageable. I know some communities have repair workshops, or repair cafés. Maybe check if there is one near you, or if not, you could maybe start one? As I understand it, it generally works on a donation basis, and people who know what they're doing offer their time to try and teach others/help them fix things, and the donations go to those people/supplies for the event. More money for the fixer if they are outright fixing a thing for someone, but the emphasis is on teaching people to fix themselves. Though of course, the "rules" would be different for each repair workshop.
Heck yeah! If I had a place big enough to do a repair cafe I would. I love that idea a lot. 💗

The ones that I have seen online are often held at a library or coffee shop or community center or something, so there's a big space for it.
That's a good skill to have for a lftl :)
