^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your analysis is very rational, but it does not account for the differences
in people's attitudes toward how they spend their time. I often spend more
time on a "fixin'" project than the value of the project seems to justify.
But, at the end I have the satisfaction of accomplishment, and the
additional experience that I gained. Is the enjoyment one gets by working
against the mental and physical challenges of a trivial repair job less
valid than, say, the enjoyment one could get by skiing or golfing?

I much prefer the challenge of building/fixing something to that
of sports. I'm not real competitive so it works out.

There's also the time/money factor. A person with one usually
doesn't have much of the other. Unfortunately, I usually have
too much time on my hands. :-(
