Street repair shops are prevalent on the streets of Bacolod City, Philippines. This one seemed to be concentrating on wheel and engine parts.

Removing and replacing the whole structure would have been costly and dangerous. Here's an old repair that's doing a great job.
One of the most picturesque stone bridges of Zagori, Kokkoris bridge is located among the villages of Koukouli, Dilofo and Kipoi in central Zagori, Epirus, Greece. Built in 1750 under the sponsorship of Noutsos Karamisinis from the nearby bradeto, the 24m long and 14m high arch bridge was repaired at the end of the 18th century by Alexis Noutsos and renewed by Grigoris Kokkoros in 1910-1911. Kokkoros owned the mill nearby the bridge, hence its colloquial name “bridge of Kokkoros”, although it is also known as “bridge of Noutsos”.
He just repaired a bag for a customer sitting beside him. Because the tools next to him, I suspect that he also repaired shoes.

The church I go to, St Mary's Alverstoke, has problems with water ingress above the chancel steps. It was decided to remove all the plaster so none fell on anyone. The scaffolder erected a 12.5 m tower! He had to get a change to his insurance to work above 10 m.
Now to raise funds to get scaffolding erected outside to repair the pointing!
The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.

A couple of panels of next doors fence blew down in the recent Storm Ciara. It has now been repaired using the old fencing. At first I though new panels would be needed!

No heavy equipment required. Repairing underground landscape irrigation pipes ain't easy as it looks. Remember, measure twice, cut once.
To give the guy some credit though, he told me this wasn't his job. He's a heavy equipment mechanic. But somebody at CalTrans, in their infinite wisdom sent him out to the old Dumbarton bridge to fix these irrigation pipes.

It is closer to noon and a very warm late spring day in Launceston, as these workmen repair a shop roof. It appears I caught the attention of one man.
This shows the Court Barn at the Weald & Downland Living Museum in Singleton, West Sussex, which is the filming location for the BBC television program "The Repair Shop". The barn is a timber-framed structure that was originally built in the late 17th or early 18th century in Lee-on-the-Solent. It was dismantled and re-erected at the museum in 1979. The barn is recognisable by its thatched roof and large wooden doors. It is situated in a rural setting, surrounded by trees and a dirt path. The Weald & Downland Living Museum is an open-air museum that features historic buildings from South East England. It covers 16 hectares and includes over 50 historic buildings, as well as farm animals. Visitors can explore the museum and see the Court Barn, although access to the inside of the barn may be limited to specific open days. The museum is located within the South Downs National Park.
The Wiston Wagon Shed is the small shed on the left, It was built close to the farmyard to house carts and wagons needed on the farm. It probably dates from the 18th century.
In most farmsteads the wagon shed will be found either outside the yard or facing outwards from the buildings arranged round its perimeter. Many wagon sheds are simply open-fronted buildings — similar to shelter sheds for cattle, but recognisable because they face outwards from the yard.
The Watersfield Stable is the building on the right. This timber-framed and weatherboarded stable probably dates from the late 17th or 18th century. It contained standings for four or five horses or oxen.
In the lower end of the stable is a horse-powered chaffcutter. Next to the smithy is the stable from Hoe Farm, Watersfield.

This is junk, but it got my attention because of the previously repaired clip. I used to repair a lot of these and sell them years ago. I thought it might be one that I had sold, but it wasn't. It does have someone else's markings on the back. As you can see, most of the clips are gone, so I left it.
