2 reasons: 1) limited income, and (2) been cheated too many times in the
past just blindly paying someone to do something. Once you've been down
#2's path, you think twice before you trust anyone to do anything. This
time, I decided to try actually learning enough about zippers so maybe I
can fix all or most future zipper issues. I've done the same thing with
my cars.
