Hell....I'm one of them!
Sure, I'm a fine driver and I own and operate my own business!
I've installed sinks (mostly not very well) and replaced more toilets than I care to think about.
But when it comes to real, gritty repairs and such? I am not your man.
I have always maintained that my specialty and expertise in automotive and home maintenance is that I can rig crap to make things work.
Until someone who actually knows what they're doing can get there to fix it properly.
My policy is simple. I have to least try first.
If I try and I fail. Fine. We'll call a guy. But I have to fail first.
