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.
|
Electrical. Scares the piss out of me.
|
Same here, electrical and bodywork
|
Bodywork!!!! Ugh!!!! After having restored a few cars, ground up, I much prefer to buy one DONE!!!!!
|
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.
|
Time and money. I'm comfortable with just about anything given enough of it.
|
Ceramic Tile!
|
Mudding and taping drywall. Bleech.
|
Anything that if I screw up will cost me more than just paying someone to do it.
|
I have never done A/C. But I have fixed/installed furnaces.
|
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. p3 |
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!
