His retort was that he'd learned that if he needed to fit a sink again
and wanted a better job doing he'd get someone in. And i'm pretty
sure he was serious!

It's useful to know when to play to your strengths and when to delegate.
Subcontracting a job costs money, but if you contract it to someone who
can do it quicker and better than you then you get a better result at
the end of the day, and you can use the time saved on something more
profitable. If you can't see you're going to be installing many sinks
in future, why would you invest in learning that skill?

Because the skills involved can be used for lots of other things too?
