Re:Why I Quit DIY (2014) by swader999 on Saturday May 15, 2021 @09:12PM (#27170375)
I wish I had the luxury to quit diy but it is very hard to find trades or people to fix things where I live rurally, often the ones that are available are bad.

Finished my basement, landscaping, fixing appliances, fixed a broken ski, ski boot fitting, lawnmower repair, redid all my footer drains and most of it by hand. Underground greenhouse. Learned how to level my house and made my basement walls floating. Finished exterior of my house. Saved thousands of dollars of course. Have a lot of tools too. I do enjoy physical labor. Nothing gets you in shape like digging a huge hole.
