+1 on this.
I can never get the patched area to look the other areas. And I can't get the taped areas to blend properly and/or not crack after a few years.
Plumbing, even sweating joints or unclogging toilets, is cake by comparison - at least to me.
When doing some remodeling at a relative's house a few years back, we made a deal - I would take care of all the mechanicals and someone else would dry wall & paint. That worked out great.
I guess that why I would rather rebuild an engine than do body work any day.
Btw, I did quite a bit of roofing work quite a few years ago. Yes, it's nerve-wracking, especially on a steep pitch, but overall not too bad. Except that I still have the scar on my shoulder from hauling bundles of shingles and rolls of split-sheet up the ladder. Oh yeah, encountering bees under the old shingles - well, that's exciting.
