I’m Crazy doing it myself

Today’s morning, I dismantled one of the seats we have for long years because I believe there’s no way out it can be repaired via upholstery. Some of the woods supports under were already severely damage as well as the springs so it’s imperative to demolish it totally to reduce things that are not useful.
Doing the job is exhausting as usual not to mention the clutters and the set of garbage to be put away after.
Sometimes, I have this attitude to do things I thought I can do my own where it would be better if I hire someone to do the job on my behalf. I could have paid someone instead of spending my time and effort and end up exhausted.

I was like that when I was younger, always thinking that I can do anything. But now I just hire someone to do it for me. It is more practical.

I understand wanting to do things yourself instead of hiring someone to do it for you. I thought of putting something away but thought maybe I will not put it away and other things came up too so I needed my handyman's help. He is a very good guy and like when he comes.

@ZedSmart yes because I want to do it. If I’m not in the mood, he has no choice but do it.

I feel you. I tried fixing our dining seat myself. I bought a no nail adhesive but all those efforts were futile as the joints still have way. The next thing done was ask a carpenter to put braces under the seat, now I am confident I will not fall from the seat.

@florelway That's also the reason why I do it myself because the availability of carpenters are sometimes not according to your plan. If there's something come to my mind, I want to do it immediately and see result.

if you know what you're doing, it saves money, but it involves time and effort too
