Indeed ... I've lost count of the thousands of pounds being 'good at fixing/building things' has saved me over the years. I'd feel so helpless if I lacked the skills to (mostly) fix my own stuff .... it's only a matter of time til vested interests get their paid politicians to outlaw 'amateur' car repair ... on the grounds of 'safety' of course.
My neighbour, bless him, is the opposite ... his version of DIY is Don't Involve Yourself 🙂
