Question of the Day - June 4th

Good Morning

I was recently able to fix my phone and I started thinking:

Do you like to try to fix things yourself, or would you rather take them to someone else

I usually try to fix things myself, but if it's something delicate that I don't know too much about, I will take it to someone else.

Good morning!

Really depends what it is. I can take apart, alter, replace, or resew anything that's made with fabric; I'm pretty handy with the small things around the house like refinishing furniture, gluing, fixing, replacing, or painting.

But I never hesitate to call in the professionals for the important stuff or for the things I know nothing about (furnace, electrical, etc.).

Depends what it is. I will tackle most horse tack myself as well as most large appliances and some machinery, but major electrical or heavy mechanics, not a chance.

It depends on the item. Most things I'd rather let a professional do. Especally if it's something like electricity or plumbing or home repairs lol

Usually fix things myself. I get a feeling of accomplishment I can work on cars pretty well, and have replaced the battery on my jetski When it comes to computers though, I'm lost!

I am not a real handy type of person so it really depends on what it is. I usually take it somewhere to be repaired because I'm afraid I'll do more harm than good

I would prefer to take them to someone else to get fixed if my DH can't do it. Although, he usually fixes everything and even adds a good temper at times along with the job.

I would rather someone else do it.

I totally try to fix things myself if possible! I have found that most things I can't fix myself end up being not worth fixing, but need to be replaced........

It depends on the situation.

Usually if something is broken I can't afford to get it fixed or replace it and I have no idea how to do it myself With the house -- it's professionals

If is not a big replace, I´ll try.... but sometimes is getting worse... ...

It depends on what it is.

We would rather repair things ourselves, but if it's something we don't feel comfortable doing, we'll call the repair weenies, esp if it's related to the house.
