there are times I'd happily pay somebody else to do it for me, if only I
could find someone to do it as well as I could. that is not in any way to
say I do everything well, it's that invariably I'll pay a 'professional'
then end up fixing/improving his work. that would be fine if I didn't
have to pay for his services first, but I just make myself angry when I
think I just paid for something to be done poorly. and of course the easy
stuff that you'd think nobody could mess up I either feel stupid paying
for, of I've had some moron actually mess it up once and now I do it
myself.
thus, like keith said, shop and tools.
