Next level DIY skill unlocked: modify an IKEA furniture using a hired mitre saw (which I have never used in my life), in my backyard. Complete with Crocs slippers and an old pair of Bose ANC headphones for ear protection.

Today on DIY repairs: Nespresso Essenza Mini. After 2 days of "debugging" I figured the brewing chambered cracked. Tried to fix with baking powder and super glue. Worked for about 5 seconds to crack again. Brewing unit replacement it is!
