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 |

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.

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.

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

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.
