I think we're the last generation of "doers." I remember working on cars with my dad, building out the basement, working in the yard, splitting wood etc. It's just what we did. My mom made the curtains in our house and even the bed-spreads. Food was made at home and eating out was a rare treat.
The result is that I'm another who hates to pay anyone to do anything. At some point, projects exceed my abilities, but after successfully rebuilding a Porsche engine in my garage it's hard to say something is too hard.
If I do pay someone to do work it's usually a matter of their hourly rate vs mine, but sometimes it's just time. Could I remodel a bathroom? Yes. I've done it before. Do I want to spend all of my spare time over who knows how many weeks doing that sort of thing? Not any more.
