I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more ‘valuable’. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

    Will it get done if it costs too much to get someone to do it? Do I think I can do it?

    If I added up all of the home, auto and technical maintenance I have done in the last month as farmed out to a professional I would be broke ALL THE TIME or the things would not have gotten done.

    SO many things can be looked up and even found as full instructional videos now.

    I generally look at it as if there is special knowledge, skills or tools needed also if I could make things worse… If not I will try and do it myself.
