I try and fix everything I can on my own. Sometimes I get work down on the outboard (2 stroke Yamaha 115) just because I am not familiar with it. Easy stuff like plugs and oil is no problem. Not sure if I will tackle the carbs when they need rebuilding.

Everything else from the car to the house I usually tackle. Appliances - especially older ones usually aren't worth fixing but Pool stuff, boat stuff, house stuff - kids stuff - yeah I'll give a shot at fixing.

We used to joke when my Son was very young - he was constantly breaking his toys and would come running through the house yelling "Dad Dad - fik it, fik it...

I do put time limits on stuff to see if it's worth it. I've found I value my down time more these days...
