So this happened today... lol.
I leaned back in my 10 year old computer chair and it didn’t stop leaning until I hit the ground. The chair is in otherwise good condition, but this part is all kinds of fucked. Think I can find this piece for cheaper than buying a new chair?

Costco is pretty good as well. They had a chair i was debating on but I grabbed an ElCheapO from amazon for like 40 dollars.
There was a chair from a hotel I was at that actually "Wowed" me a bit, instead of the typical mesh back that all these "Ergo" chairs have, it had a "Mesh" back of sorts but the "Mesh" was like 1/3 inch / 1/2 inch thick and it was rubber or plastic...
LOL sorry I'm being vague, I saw it once, tried to find the vendor and couldn't find it. I would buy it in a heart beat since the back was sturdy but also the padding felt like it was durable

Brightside: you'll have a new roof.
I was kinda hoping that the past hurricane would do damage (but not too much) to my roof so I could claim it instead of having to go entirely out of pocket. I'm glad it didn't... but... I was sort of thinking "it wouldn't be the worst thing".

I took your guys' advice and just ordered another chair lol. 10 years is a pretty good run, so it's not that much heartburn to buy another.
The family buying my house asked me to repair or replace a single hung window with a blown seal (there's condensation between the panes). I tried to see if maybe the seal was just improperly seated, but I couldn't figure out how to get the damn thing out.
So what do you guys think? Should I hire someone to come install a new window? if I do get a new window, what's the likelihood that it'll match the rest of the windows?
