Kleenex aren't paper towels, but they can help get rid of some moisture. This should only be a one-day fix.

If I walked into this bathroom two days in a row and still saw those tissues, that would be cause for concern.

If this is how they fix the roads out there, that's pretty bad.

Two crucial components of the chair weren't stable or strong enough, so they eventually broke.

If you've ever had crutches, you know that they end up going in the closet or somewhere else to take up space.

This dock didn't have any flair at all before the neighbors added this pirate fort to it.

I'd say this is a much-needed fix, and all docks need something fascinating added.

Running out of space on the nightstand isn't any fun. Thankfully, this couple found a way.

Toilet tanks usually have a problem at some point during their lifespans. This man used a paper clip to fix his.

It looks like it's sturdy enough to last for quite some time.

I'm pretty sure that's a pool noodle, so this isn't even an expensive fix.

Sitting on that would be a bit weird, but if it's sturdy that's fine. We suppose.
