I heard men are stubborn? I am too but before taking on a job usually took stock of things like my time, my work, and other things. I also know my limitations. So if it looks like I can't really do it even if I have the skills, I already schedule the cavalry. But they're not always the pros, most times they're my buddies. We help each other out with home projects and I'm lucky to have friends who know electronics, electrical stuff, masonry, carpentry, and plumbing.
