I will spend hours tinkering with something of low value to repair it, just because of the challenge and the kudos gained by winning the battle. Why do you have to justify spending the time to anyone? If it makes you happy, then there isn't a problem. I suspect a fair number of forum members are creative, like myself. I just happen to enjoy taking things apart and fixing them, or designing and building sometimes even the simplest of projects, mechanical or electronic. As has been said before, surely it's better than sitting watching TV or playing with a smartphone for a couple of hours?
