Are you looking at those cracked tiles and thinking to yourself, “This is going to be easy.” I’m right there with you, except now I am three hours into mess.
Doing things yourself works great with painting, replacing light fixtures, or making that IKEA shoe rack your spouse keeps nagging about. It’s cheap, it’s fun , and you have something to talk about around the dinner table. Sometimes it just doesn’t cut it.
You see, plumbing and electrical stuff is just a little too tricky. A single mistake might result in either a soaked kitchen or an electrical disaster. You bring in Mike the electrician – the guy that brings his own tools and never calls back.
The motto that I follow: When making a mistake means costing more than their services, put down the screwdriver. Trust me, it’ll save you a headache.
