Not only do I have no mechanical ability but I always wound up hurting myself somehow when I tried to do a simple job around the house. As a result, I learned long ago to call in a professional. They often said to me "you could have done this yourself, its simple". My standard reply was "I won't ask you to develop and defend a $1.5 billion budget if you don't ask me to do what you are good at." My father was a mechanical engineer who could take anything apart and put it back together with no parts left over. I just didn't get that gene.
