That's true of course, but many on here are retired, have FAR more time than money, and since very close to 80 feel it's more important than at anytime in our lives to do things like mow lawn, paint, do the kinds of home jobs that don't take years of training or special skills, but keep us healthy. Sister in law and I easily replaced the wax ring on her toilet when our hubbies were gone on a trip. On the other hand, neither my husband nor I have any electrical knowledge beyond replacing an already in place wall switch, so we call an electrician to do anything beyond that, and a plumber to do anything beyond just a new wax seal on a toilet, or a new washer in a faucet...LOL !
