Ingenuity and common sense needed in everyday life

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."

Why have we not thought of that before?

There were two unsolved problems that bothered me: 1.  an unopened accidentally locked vault door in a provincial office - this would cost us several thousands, and no technician from the vault store was available. and a helmet strap that was cut in two places.  For a long long time, these remained unsolve.

Here are the surprising solutions:

1.  For the vault, an officer suggested that we use grinder to remove the hinge; this would cause the whole door vault cover to fall;   the hinge could be replaced later on. The contents were thus taken and used.  This was done only last week, after this being pending for more than a year.

2.  For the helmet, this was how it was repaired:  Repairing my Spyder Helmet  It would have cost me say P3,000 to buy  a new helmet.  Now it just cost me P48.00 of mighty bond glue and several minutes to do the repair, and make the helmet as good as new.
