One of my neighbors is the most talented construction/pier builder/fish hatchery/clam bed owner/musician/all around cool guy I know. His motto is, "You can't be a man at his trade".

Unless I want to do it, I have the choice now to let the tradesmen prove it, and they always do. We are in the midst of a complete kitchen redo and the electrician did in two days what most certainly would have electrocuted me in one.

My search-foo is lacking today, but Dottore wrote an elegant post years ago about downsizing and simplifying. I'll keep looking.
