Being a landlord and a home owner I taught myself and did my own research to either fix or improved on numerous of problems and issues that homes related. Nowaday, you can find just about about how-to-anything on youtube. Sure, I can lay the pavers but those are back breaking jobs and I would rather not take on and leave that for my contractor. But simple fixes like change out the garbage disposable, install a new fire logs set that required gas connection and even run new electrical lines to receptacle in the backyard, I did it.
I am not being stingy or cheap, it just that when you call for help, not only you have to wait for them, often times I am so anal that I often double check the work that was done, if not from my own knowledge, I often google and youtube for the right methods. In the end it is often so easy that, I did most of the repair, replace myself at my house or my rental.
I wonder why being a homeowner and not willing to do some of the maintenance, repair, or replace yourself if time permitted.

That's also why I don't mind paying for a home warranty, it's worth it not having to worry about those small repairs that may turn into big ones.

The only things in all the different repairs over several homes I've requested that wasn't covered was replacing the garage door cables for a roll-up door (did that on 2 different homes).eyephone said:irvinehomeowner said:My time is worth more than what I usually have to pay to have a pro do it... and usually there is some type of warranty in case there is a problem later.

How about the exclusions that are not covered under the warranty?

Oh I do get what you're saying. When I was younger I was all about DIY and still think about it today.Compressed-Village said:irvinehomeowner said:My time is worth more than what I usually have to pay to have a pro do it... and usually there is some type of warranty in case there is a problem later.

No disrespect you IHO, most of your comments and tribute to the forum is wise and funny at times. I would rather save a few bucks here and there working on my house. Sure my times is worth way more than what the contractor charge per hour, it just that the satisfaction that you get when things done right with your own hands. I trust myself with the work done to my house more than any person out there.
