I was raised to try to fix everything myself - for better or worse. Now I factor in what my time is worth, what tools I have, and whether I have the skills I need for the seriousness of the job. Also, whether or not my neighbors will be watching. When my wife's car flatted in the driveway, I sure fixed that myself!
