Living a little white trash.

About a month or so ago the driver side door in our car decided it didn't want to open anymore.  It wasn't locked it was broke.  Something inside the door broke and allowed you to pull the handle out but the door would not budge.  Very frustrating!!! So yes for about a month we had to climb in and out of the passenger side door to drive.  Than Vance was able to take the door panel off in order to try and get the door open.  This caused the power windows to not work, bummer for when I would forget this as I was ordering my food in the drive thru Argg!!

Needless to say Vance saved the day.  He was able get the door open and replace the broken part. 

Parts and Labor for a mechanic to do the job $400.

Parts and labor for Vance to do the job $60.

Having a 6 inch hole in my car PRICELESS!!!

Hey it saved us a lot of money and the car works just fine.  Luckily the hole is in the inside and no one can see it unless they open the car door.  hehe.  Thanks to Vance for saving the day.

We have a ghetto oven if it makes you feel better. There is no digital face, so when you set the temp you have to count up by 5's from 150 to where you want to be. You should see the look on some of the babysitter's faces......Somewhere along the road, I found out it would be like $600 to fix. Hmm.....I choose Mexico!

Nothing wrong with a little redneck engineering as my hubby would say.

Hey! Poor people have poor ways, my brother always says! And, the way Vance fixed it is probably the same way my brother would, too! AWESOME! Thankfully, that hole is on the inside, eh?
