We are fortunate that we can afford to pay someone to do it, and it helps the local economy.

One thing that always runs through my mind is "How much is my time worth?" Something like these LED's, it's a no-brainer to do it myself. I have the skill set, it's minimal time, it gives me the feeling of accomplishment, and I saved $500 that I could use for something else. Same thing with painting even though it's mind-numbingly boring.
There are things I'll gladly let someone else do, like digging out and replacing bushes or any work that is higher than a 6 foot ladder.
