I too have hit a wall when it comes to projects around the house. It takes a lot to motivate me on a Sat or Sun morning. I think the trick is not to think about it too much. Push yourself to get up a little earlier and just do it. My biggest problem with getting someone in to perform a service is that I feel, no, I know I can do the correctly ie: better than they. If only I was a little younger and my back felt good!

Being in the plumbing / construction business is a cross to bear at times. Family, friends and neighbors all ask for help for the smallest and seemingly easiest job. Lately I've had an attitude while helping others. The bottom line really is that I am sick and tired of working, period.
My Dad started me working with him at 7 years old. I worked every damn summer vacation with him as a kid. I worked full time night jobs while putting myself through college. I work 6am to 6pm every day. At 59 yo I don't see myself retiring for the next ten years. I guess I'm just tired and burnt out.

I feel your pain Vinnie.
