I like cooking well enough but not so much that I'd still do it if I could get the same results, at the same price, without doing it. Ditto house/construction stuff—I kinda like it but not enough that I'd keep doing it if there were no value in the work, i.e. I could wave a wand instead and the work would be done and I'm out the same amount of money as materials. Hell, in either case I'd pay a smallish premium—tens of a percent over the cost to DIY—to never do it again, all else (quality, selection, availability/timing of product) being equal, even. It's only because the activities provide tons of value that I do them myself, even though I "like" them. Actually the more I think about it, that goes for lots and lots of things I do. Almost all of it, maybe. To "love" an activity must one love doing it even if it provides nothing of use, no desirable output? Hm. I mean, even games provide a goal, typically. People might just move pieces around on a board or hit a ball around aimlessly and enjoy it but that's not what gets people really going. You need rules, structure, a point to it.
