A bit that makes it attractive to me, if I pay someone and the job is done in a way I don’t like, I end up fixing it anyway and am out of pocket.

Do it myself and any issues are easier to live with as they are my fault.

Totally. I’ve reworked a lot of the plumbing and electrics I paid pros for because I wasn’t happy with the results.

I make a lot of mistakes, but as you say, you can make your peace with them.
