One winter project, some years ago, I walled up one corner of the basement where guys could hang out,watch TV, and do guy stuff. “She” rarely goes down there. I would sneak a motor down when “she” wasn’t home. “She” must be OK with it or would have gotten the “eye” by now. After I run this motor some, I may freshen it up again, and rotate out one of the others.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
