I can make more doing repairs of their screw-ups than installing in the first place.:thumbup:
Do you think that home DIY has made it harder to make a living?
Hi all
Over the years I have seen new trends come and go something new that you can do to your house or buildings.
Do you think that things like DIY laminate flooring and other do it yourself type packs have impacted the industry as a whole?
There so many things you can buy ready to clip together etc, flooring I thought was the best example as its so wide spread.
Im quite a handy guy but I did pay someone else to lay my floor just to save me the hassle.

A repair will usually cost them 3 times what it would have cost to do it in the first place.
They think we are ripping them off. I have thousands of dollars worth of tools and 37 years experience. Should be worth something. I am on several boards trying to help DIYers. Some of these people can not be helped. I have come close to just giving up.
