scribbled this interesting note:

Low skilled work like
painting and carpentry gets done sub par.


On the contrary, these too take skill and care if they are to be done
correctly. Since when is carpentry a low skilled job? Seem to me that
it takes a large amount of time, practice, and experience to become a
carpenter worthy of the job title.

As for painting, a poorly done paint job will flake off in a year or
less. A well done paint job takes time, skill, and the willingness to
do a good job. After all, the more you know, the better the end
result.

I've seen far too many examples of poor work done by homeowners, who
have good intentions to be sure, who knew that just because a hammer
or a paint brush will fit into his or her hand, that they are
qualified to be carpenters or painters. The results are uniformly
predictable...
