Even if it cost a few bucks more in the long run, I'd much rather do everything I can myself . I get a lot of self satisfaction and the confidence knowinhg it's done correctly and to my exact specs. When somthing goes wrong there's no one to blame but myself and I'm not at anyones mercy waiting on pins and needles for a replacement or a reply email from Co's.
There are a lot of things I have no choice but to inquire about or purchase but what I can myself is very rewarding, that makes it all worth to me.
