Do-it-Yourself Repairs: As American as Apple Pie

(StatePoint) For 250 years, generations of fixers have passed down a very American tradition: don’t replace it, repair it. With crisp fall weather here, families across the country will be putting their weekends to work—together.ping

New research from Duck brand, maker of Duck Tape brand duct tape, finds that 87% of Americans say their family philosophy is rooted in resourcefulness—the belief that most things can be fixed with the right tools and know-how. In fact, when asked which phrase sounds most like their family, the top answer (29%) was simple: “We can totally fix this.”
