Sometimes the reward of a job well done is uncomprehending looks of horror and pity from your friends and family.

I realized then, that I have officially turned into my old man. The same guy that would spend 2 days fiberglassing the worn-through bottom of a $10 trash can and bead blast, wet sand, clearcoat, etc a $5 mailbox once it started getting rusty.
I always make an attempt to fix it first. Recently ended up spending $300 on my 15 yr old snow blower. It was a case of starting out with a low cost repair which snow balled . I gave serious thought to repairing the whole thing but then it is going to snow any day. Any way, it's a lot cheaper than a new one. I have been known to repair electrical switches. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet.
