You’re a lot more likely to fix something (or fix it without resorting to a butter knife) if you don’t have to go down to your basement or out to the garage to get a screwdriver. And that goes triple if you’re going to ask me to fix something every time I’m at your house. Happy to do it, just leave a screwdriver nearby for me.
