Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I enjoy doing things myself whenever possible (watsondiy.com). Car work, woodworking, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, remodeling, crafting, landscaping, computer programming, etc. As other's have mentioned, that still requires a bit of reliance on modern conveniences. I haven't made my own chisels, built my own table saw, or forged my own car parts, for instance.
I enjoy cooking but have never tried canning. We don't get enough sunlight on our property to grow vegetables, so there's nothing to can. Also, some things just aren't worth the trouble. I thought about making some pumpkin ice cream a few weeks ago, but when I added up the cost of the ingredients I realized I could just go buy a few cartons of ice cream.
Oh, and it's DIY (Do It Yourself), not DYI (Do Yourself In). My wife gets that confused all the time too...
