Well, or as many DIY’ers have figured out - ‘why would I buy that for $500 when I can spend $1500 and 3 weeks making it myself?’

- adocomplete 1y agoDepends on if you learn something while making yourself. The lesson itself could be worth 10x the monetary spend (in a positive and negative way).
- lazide 1y agoWell, and as I always told myself - it’s an investment in tools I’ll use again later, and eventually it’ll be cheaper to DIY myself. Which, at the point I was welding together solar panel mounts onto shipping containers was true. But maybe i could have asked myself ‘should I’ instead of ‘can I’ somewhere earlier in the process hah.
