Me too, always have been. But as I get older and spend more time with older people, I can understand calling the guy.
Two weeks ago I 'called the guy' for a toilet pull and re-ring. I would have done it myself but was sure a rooter job would be needed. Nope. Just the ring. So it cost me $180 more than had I done it myself. No worries. Would I call the guy again? Yep. Give me more time to do dirty stuff in the shop with my old cars, which I actually enjoy.
As we enter our 60's, retirement, and beyond, we sure as hell have earned the right to 'call the guy' even if we CAN do the job ourselves.
Hell, even metrosexuals with manicures like Rickles here knows how to R and R a carburetor.
