Yep, done all that. And as a result have respect for those who choose that as their day job, day-in-day-out. It may be simple to do, as in not complicated, but it's not easy work.

First step was spending 3 days over the Memorial Day weekend building a workbench in my garage. It was about $650 in materials but the thing is very sturdy. It has a peg board, its own independent power panel, and several stand-alone 20A circuits. It ate up most of the holiday and it was hard work but it's done now and I can now start working on more ambitious projects.

Maybe it won't wind up like my workbench...covered with junk and nowhere to work!

I like that rule. With this project, I finally got to use my Christmas present[^].

I can handle most of the basics myself...
But some stuff I rely on the abilities of others within my small community. As a member of the local Volunteer FD I have access to plumbers, electricians, masons, and any other of the other "construction" trades that I need. And I am more than happy to share my IT and other abilities with them.

Did you try turning the water heater off then back on again?

Glad your DIY adventure with a water heater turned out better than mine! (which I still consider to be one of the dumbest things I've ever done...as an adult)
Hint: it involved changing out an element without draining the tank.
Another hint: it didn't end well. I can laugh about it now. I posted here when it happened and will have to find it now.

When I were mechanicing my biggest earners were people who had tried to rebuild an engine on their own and nearly always failed to charge it with oil prior to firing it up. Voila, something would invariably go thunk.
Note: we always took pride in not screwing people over - we might have laughed at their stupidity but you can still do good business without being an ass.

Is the element of surprise not allowed near the periodic table because it's not noble enough?
