I do it also. I have grown to accept it because I enjoy it . We needed a new door from our kitchen into our living room. Sure I could buy a nice door for a few hundred bucks, but out bike riding one day, I see a really cool antique wooden door with a large glass panel in it . I am a sucker for the words FREE. Off to the races we go. I probably have 30 hours in stripping , sanding, refinishing , flip the hinges , and cutting it down to fit our doorway.
You know what? Way nicer than any old door I could buy from Home Despot , and my kid helped a little , and most likely learned something .
I do this with vehicles also . I have put so much time into a rusted out dodge 2500 plow truck this summer, I could have just bought a brand new plow for one of my other trucks, and been ahead of the game.
I completely understand .
