I guess basic home renovation suff. I literally do these kinds of things for a living. In my experience, it’s not so much that people don’t know how to do this stuff - it’s more that they lack the tools, the time, or they’d just rather pay someone to do it properly. I’ve had jobs where it took me only a minute to fix something they could’ve easily done themselves, but honestly, I can’t blame people for not wanting to mess with something they’re unfamiliar with. Most of the time, I’m not any wiser than they are at the start either - but I guess I just have the ability to figure things out on the fly.
