DIY'ers, What is you weak spot
 
What gives you trouble and what are the things you won't do.
Trouble for me it is anything electrical, and I don't do anything involving bodywork or prep

Woodworking.

BRPORSCHE 04-12-2010 11:29 AM

Electrical. Scares the piss out of me.

Geronimo '74 04-12-2010 11:32 AM

Same here, electrical and bodywork

sand_man 04-12-2010 11:37 AM

Bodywork!!!! Ugh!!!! After having restored a few cars, ground up, I much prefer to buy one DONE!!!!!

Bill Douglas 04-12-2010 11:37 AM

Procrastination, but I will get around to fixing this problem some day.

Jack of all trades, master of NONE. I like electrical work because it's so objective. I dislike concrete work because the mistakes are (almost) permanent.

Plants. I kill plants.

I can't paint a car for schit.

Drywall - not that it's that hard to do, but I get tired and impatient w/ all of the sanding and dust and usually end up doing a crap job.

On the house? I guess I'm least excited about drywall and then paint. I don't mind electrical at all. Minor plumbing is fine (between the wall and sink/faucet) and woodwork.

On the car, I'm less likely to tackle a transmission or rear-end than engine, suspension, clutch, electrical, brakes etc.... Also, Rust work, yuck!!

My week spot is patience. I trust my skills in most things. If I don't know, I learn.

david914 04-12-2010 12:36 PM

Time and money. I'm comfortable with just about anything given enough of it.

Super_Dave_D 04-12-2010 12:37 PM

Ceramic Tile!

BGCarrera32 04-12-2010 12:41 PM

Mudding and taping drywall. Bleech.

legion 04-12-2010 12:50 PM

Anything that if I screw up will cost me more than just paying someone to do it.

dad911 04-12-2010 01:10 PM

I have never done A/C. But I have fixed/installed furnaces.

phoenix_iii 04-12-2010 01:19 PM

Knowing when to quit, or putting value on my time.

I have finally started to realize that for the 'rip-off price' of having it done, I can have a day with the Miss, or myself, or friends. I also know enough to check the job and make sure they didn't make a mess of things/sell me a bill of goods.

I'll try it all, except for paint home or auto. I really dislike painting, never been happy with my results.

I love Electrical, Welding, Woodwork, Under-car, Driveway Sealing, Digging holes everything ! except the P- word.

Lay Carpet is the only thing I will not do!
