I've done about everything DIY from roofing to foundations, and almost everything in between. I don't particularly love any if it, but I don't particularly hate any of it either. Now that I'm retired, I just don't have time to do all sorts of household DIY's, so unless it's some piddly little thing, I'm hiring it done......especially plumbing, since I'm no longer able to contort to fit in some of the nooks & crannies where some of the plumbing is located (i.e. under sinks). I have a lot of friends who are in the 'trades' (roofers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc) that do odd jobs on the side, and are more than willing to work for cash after-hours.

And up until the mid-1980's, I did almost all of my own automotive maintenance & repairs...engine & carb rebuilds.....even replacing mufflers. These days I'll replace an occasional dead battery, but most other stuff gets taken care of by either my retired neighbor next door (a mechanic), or I take it to the dealer's garage.

It's a completely different story when it comes to DIY projects out in the gardens and landscape! I love doing outdoor projects, and am out there year 'round!!! I don't like anybody messing around out there...except myself!!!
