> I'm never going to be good at most house-related repair and upgrade tasks that I will do one or two times in my life. And I've been unhappy with the results of most of my work. I just got done with a home reno. Did quite a bit ourselves, and hired out a lot of it. It's 100% possible to hire someone who does a way shittier job than you do and end up having to rip it all out. Ask me how I know. Point is, it's not always true that spending the money will save you anything in the end. Finding people who do mediocre work is hard enough, but finding people who actually care about your home and your projects is exceedingly difficult. Sometimes a morning on youtube and an afternoon with the circular saw is the best you're going to get.
