If you have a home project, at what point do you give up and hire? Or do you just tough it out and do the work?
I'm 59 and I started taking down our lilac bush that has turned into a tree. But it's killing me and my thumb is bleeding, so I told my husband it would take a lot of weekends of us trying to remove it ourselves and take the debris to the dump which is 35 minutes away and charges for the loads depending on weight.
So I talked to my husband and he knows when I've tried and had enough...and said to go ahead and call a tree company.
At what point do you give in and call in someone to do work around the house?
That's on my To Do List too...a light fixture that needs replacing. I mean, it sounds easy enough, but just one bad thing could go wrong and there goes my entire house. I'll hire a pro.
I would say that when you physically start to hurt and you really struggle doing a job yourself, that would be when it is time to give up and hire someone to do it.
I have always been independent and have always hated to ask for help, but since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and really struggling, I tend to give in now and get help.
