"A man's got to know his limitations." (Dirty Harry)
I have no doubt that the people here are very self sufficient but also capable
of knowing their limitations. I have done everything on list, including
tilling / tiling, but there are some jobs that I'm not very good at and others
that I just don't want to do anymore. I know my limitations and I make a
decision as to what I will do and what I should have someone else do. I think
the average person should be more self sufficient, but for every person that
hires someone to do a job that they probably could do, there are others who try
to do things that they probably should hire someone to do.
