My sister has the courage, but not always the skills, to tackle any home repair project.  

For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawn mower she once tried to fix. So I wasn't surprised the day my other sister, Pam, and I found our sister attacking her vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver.  

"I can't get this thing to cooperate," she explained when she saw us.  

Pam suggested, "Why don't you drag it out to the garage and show it the lawn mower?"
