They have the tools, supplies, parts, and experience. Some days it
doesn't pay to mess with it yourself, when doing it right is cheap.

I heartily agree...you futz around, rip off your knuckles, spend
bucks then find for about the same price some specialty shop
could have done the same work in half the time (and probably
better)...shucks...

I believe this is true of most tasks that requires tools, whether it is
installing a wax ring on a toilet or replacing the ballast on a
fluorescent
light, mudding drywall, or replacing brake pads. All of those tasks
(except for the brake job) takes me at least twice or 3 times as long to
perform as it would for a pro.

On the other hand, I'm too cheap to pay someone to do those jobs and if I
didn't tackle those jobs, I wouldn't have any war stories to tell around
the
campfire afterwards.

Or......blood on your hands....LOL

LOL! Those scars are proof that I actually tried to do something with my
own hands!


I have a damned scar on my leg from a branch of a plant I have
out by the pool in a planter.

EVERY damned time I walk by, I cut my leg...

I 'could' turn it around and keep more of my blood, but NO...

LOL

I don't think I've ever done a 'project' without blood...or at least a
scrape...LOL
