Another issue is that you are sometimes scared to tackle projects because
you can cause more harm then good.


you probably won't do worse than some of the people you might hire.

I have been in my house 20 years. I have never had an electrician nor
plumber do any repairs, nor have I spent a day waiting for someone to show
up. I have had to repair a number of valves and I have remodeled a
bathroom. I always pull a homeowners electric permit and get the work
inspected.

Break down the projects into segments that you can accomplish on a Saturday
morning and you will get stuff done and at a higher quality. Not to mention
the gratification.
