After taking my car back to the garage 3 times and not having it fixed
properly, I learned to fix it myself....

Recently I called various contractors/HVAC to install a wood stove chimney
for me. After waiting several times for people who did not show up, and
waiting for calls which were never returned, I did the work myself. I'm glad
I did because I did a much better job than they would have.

It just took me time to learn how to do these things is all and purchase the
tools needed. It's not rocket science. And of course once I learn to do
something myself, I'll never again be calling for someone else to do any
work which is similar, since I now have the tools required. Note: I also got
the required permits for the chimney, etc. The inspector said nice job...
