I think a lot of times we pay people to do things, that are not as difficult as we might think..
of course there is always the gamble that if we do mess up, it costs us even more!
My ex husband, the thing I could say for him, we rarely had to pay for anything to be done by someone else. From plumbing to electrical, to sheetrock to cabinetry, he could do it all.. and with quality work..
I must admit, that is one thing I miss about him.. it amazes me how many men are afraid to try to do things on their own.
