I feel like it’s giving good money away when you hire someone to do work for you that you know you can do. You look at the markups for things and it gives you pause. Things like a valve or whatever. You can go to the Home Depot and get it for cheaper even when you include the cost of whatever tools you need to get.
But at some point you have to say, let’s just get someone to to it (the deck, the fence, the gutters, etc.) still it’s like zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. There is some personal satisfaction in being self reliant.
