From a cost perspective, every job is more expensive as a DIY job than taking it to a pro. Especially now that I don't have access to as many tools as I used to, most jobs I would normally have done are a pain anyways.

That assumes that I'm foregoing billable hours to wrench...or mow my lawn, or blow snow, or split firewood, or rake leaves. But I'm not. I bill 40 to 50+ hours a week all year long except when I'm on vacation. That's about as many hours as I can work in a week and still be focused and effective. I do all the other stuff when I'm done with work, so that I can start the next day relaxed and positive and ready to work.
