- rentseekingb 3y ago1000x this. I’ve started to learn how to do everything myself via YouTube. Am I an expert? Heck no. Can I do a dang reasonable job for easily 1/10th the cost? Sure seems to be true.
- nicbou 3y agoIt's not just the cost, but the hassle of booking someone else to fix your stuff. The same is true with all self-repairs.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoYep. I’ve really had to unfortunately that there are so many things that are very hard to just “throw money at”, unless it’s A LOT of money. Just wrangling someone to come and fix my…whatever…can easily take hours and hours of work, no matter what I’m willing to pay.
- nicbou 3y agoThis is how I feel about small repairs. Most of the time the five minute fix is easier than dropping the item off at a repair shop. On the other hand some fixes aren't worth getting the tools and doing the research, nor taking the risk of making the problem worse. A big part of adulthood is figuring out what is and isn't worth fixing yourself.
- ljf 3y agoAfter about 3 years my washing machine broke - 3 mins on youtube showed me it was likely the carbon brushes - £5 part from ebay. Took 30 mins to fit once they arrived, and I've had to to the do the job twice more, but now approaching 10 years with the same machine still going strong.
