These ChatGPT instructions walk you through a one-photo home fix.
Take a picture of what's broken and send it with the following instructions:
1. Diagnosis: What's most likely, what caused it, and whether it's a 10-minute fix, a weekend job, or a professional reading job. If there's a chance it involves gas, electricity or something structural, say so first and stop.
2. Shopping list: parts, tools, sizes and rough cost, reads like a hardware store.
3. Step by step, one at a time, waiting for the "finish". Ask first where people usually go wrong.
4. After the repair: new image, what to check within 24 hours, and what will tell you that it failed.
5. If someone quotes you a price, ask if it seems fair for your area and three questions to ask them.
6. A short and polite note from the landlord: what it is, why it needs fixing and when they can sort it out. Attach the photo.
7. What caused it, how to stop it, and a monthly 10 minute check for this room.
