Okay, so NOT every project I work on actually IS successful!
About a month ago, on a camping trip, I was pulling our camper and a rock jumped up and hit the camper and then hit the back window of our car. It shattered. The girls freaked out....the glass was falling out...I had (at the last minute) throw in a roll of duct tape!!! Gotta LOVE it!!!
When did duct tape NOT fix something....Duct tape isn't man made, it is a Gift from God.
Anyway....Trev and I taped the entire back window. Teag was stressed, I said "Hey babe...this ISN'T my first rodeo!" Yes, this has actually happened to me before! I had it totally under control. Anyway....had the window replaced, but the duct tape saved the trip and it looked cool too!!
Then last week the back latch on my car quit working.....wouldn't close. So for a week it was bungied, again bungy cords another gift from God.
I read online how to fix the latch, so last on Thursday, I took the entire back of my car apart. Took off the back panel, took out all of the bolts, vacuumed out all of the left over glass that had taken up residence in my tailgate, pulled out the latch, the lock, everything....I had part laying ALL over the back of my car. Not only was it a difficult fix but it was also above my head, literally and figuratively. Long story short......I couldn't fix it!
It only took the dealer $230 and an hour! Drat!!!! I hate that! :)
Sometimes in life we meet our match and have to throw in the towel....maybe next time!
