Costa Rica Expat Guide to Creative DIY Home Repairs
An expat shares improvised DIY fixes in Costa Rica, from zip ties to repurposed gear, with tips on sustainable repairs and everyday hacks.
A recent backyard cleanup led to a discovery of a makeshift repair. The local electric company had left a mass of branches on the property after trimming the four massive mango trees. While cleaning, the author's husband used a broken rake that had been fixed with a "MacGyver" solution.
His nice big orange plastic rake had broken a few years back because—as he will readily admit—he always uses his tools too hard, leading to a premature end to their lifespan.
The author's husband had managed to fix the rake, which was still working despite being broken. This experience highlights the resourcefulness and creativity of expats in Costa Rica when it comes to DIY home repairs.
