| As a do-it-yourselfer myself, I find that perhaps the most critical skill and ceision you need to make is "can I do this work safely or is it something a really competent person needs to do?
I usually expect to do a job over again a time or even two until I get it right --- but if a task requires multiple skills with which I'm not familiar, or if I may not recognize problems and hazards associated with the equipment, it's the wrong job for me to do.
So I'm in exactly your shoes often enough --- deciding whether I can do a job safely and competently. It's all too easy to decide you can do work that you really don't understand well enough to do.
Look down a few threads and read the "Day and Night Furnace Rewire" thread and see what you think!
So--- nothing personal. But sometimes the best advice is not to do a job. |
