Hi, guys. Tell me what you think of doing DYI home improvements/maintenance.

11. I'm easily frustrated too!

As I get older what used to be fun/challenging seems to be less so and now a source of frustration. All the tiny plastic parts that break no matter how carefully you handle them that seem to crack so easily.

I have to say I love the internet! I had a weird problem where my electronic transmission display in my car was lighting up and showing that I was in both Neutral and Park at the same time while I was really in Drive. A 15 minute Google search came up with 3 threads relating to my older make/model that traced the problem to a broken wire under my left trunk hinge. A relatively easy fix. I never would have figured that out on my own!

So yes, I rely on outside people more than I like but I still find with some internet guides I can tackle a few jobs that would have taken me hours on my own but now are simpler to do myself and a lot cheaper.
