We hired contractors to replace our shingles. Heights bother me, and our roof is way up there and steep. Other than that we've done everything the house needs - structural, electrical, plumbing, appliance repair, etc. We built our garage with the help of children and friends. Vehicles are taken care for the most part in my garage. If the automatic transmission dies, well, that's one for the professional. Body work and painting also.
Parental influence was the genesis. My father and uncles all lived the same way. They were raised by homesteaders who had to do it all, and it passed down the generations. My sons are following in their footsteps also.
Too early to tell for the grand children. With luck I'll live long enough to see.
