    Not really. There’s a lot of good mechanics and shops out there. I only do what’s necessary for myself. Besides I work at such a slow pace, I’d starve to death. Only thing I’m really good at is Trucking, Lol. Still easy money IMO. Especially after doing Labor intensive work. Guys like ezrider are good mechanics. He really can get a job done right and quick. You watch the Pros, Mechanics, Drywall, Hardwood, Plumbers, Electricians, whatever. That’s they’re job, they knock it out. I figure it out. Big difference. It’s fun to figure it out, actually doing the work, is the hard part. By the same token, We get the Load delivered, no matter what obstacles. Not everyone wants to do what we do. When I tell people I pick up a 1000 mile trip, Mon wed and sometimes Friday, they’re amazed. And usually say F that. Lol

    That's how I am with house projects. I was a commercial electrician for 22 years.

    I can do it all, but my philosophy is call the expert in the field if you don't know, or don't have a lot of time.

    Im sure you could have done all the recent work on your house. But for $1700, you can relax, get back to work, and make that back in a day vs taking a week off work. You’re way ahead financially physically and mentally. I’m going to start hiring more things out to the pros. Do what I do best.

    ...do what I told the ole lady to do, walk around pushing the alarm/horn button on remote.

    She always parks and forgets which side she parked, I’ve had her call me and me, not even be in the same state, wanting to know where she parked.

    A firm believer in “ Do what you do best, hire the rest”

    That said, what is it with businesses that don’t seem to want any work?
    Had a few projects at the house. Call a few local businesses, if they did bother to call back, they seem to not show up to give estimates, or they get that far, then don’t show up to do the work.
