I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more ‘valuable’. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

    $150 for weekends. We pay for house cleaning and lawn mowing so that we can have weekends free, and it’s absolutely worth it to me. We don’t actually get these done every week but together that is what we’d pay to be able to not spend the weekend cleaning and mowing.

    My work? If I was providing what I do professionally to someone, I would say $50 an hour, for actual productive hours. But I’ve done odds and ends work for less, and very occasionally for more.
