Right now, I have zero interest in DIY home projects. I hope I get some motivation soon!

I would much rather do it myself! Mostly because I'm cheap
-
I prefer to pay people :T
We just re-did the upstairs bathroom and we paid a painter to come in and paint it. It's just such a pain in the @$$ to do, small space, lots of cutting, and he did such a good job.
-
We do almost everything ourselves. We've gutted two bathrooms in our current house - I can tile with the best of them (ok, maybe I'm just competent but we got the job done!). I also love to paint - cutting in and all. One thing we don't DIY is snow shoveling - we totally pay a plow guy and it's money well spent!

I prefer to do it myself, but if it's time consuming or a big project then I pay someone else to do it. We hardly get sleep as is so yea...

I'm a big, big, big advocate of hiring professionals on home projects. My dad is a general contractor so that mindset keeps him in business plus I think bad DIY jobs can severely impact the quality/durability of your home as well as ruin it's value. I would much rather pay someone to do it right the first time then have to undo a mistake and potentially fix and even bigger problem. That being said...I don't generally have to hire anybody because my dad does all our work and I pay him in grandbaby kisses, cookies, and homecooked lunches. Also, my husband is a fantastic mechanic so he does all our vehicle stuff himself.
-
For big stuff, definitely hiring someone. For smaller more "manageable" projects, do it ourselves.
-
It depends! I haven't owned a home yet but have contacts in most areas so we wouldn't really have to hire anyone.

pay someone. i wish i had the diy gene, but i don't.
-
Depends what it is, I like some DIY but bigger stuff I prefer to pay someone. Thankfully we don't own yet because I KNOW that DH would protest paying anyone for something we can do. He thinks he can do all this stuff and he really can't
-
We DIY. I don't always like it but I like the end result and saving money!
-
We do what we can on our own. My husband takes a lot of pride in DIY projects. It does take us a long time particularly since LO came around.
He is a mechanic so he does all of our car maintenance as well.
-
We outsource. Everything. My husband works like 80 hrs a week and he's much more handy than me. Though, my mom does a lot of fixit stuff for us - she is SUPER handy.
-
Pay someone. We're not at all handy. Sometimes I try and it's usually disastrous.
-
Let's just put it this way.... I almost always end up spending more money trying to DIY anything! Professionals already have all the stuff they need and often get discounts, whereas I always end up having to buy a ton of stuff. House projects in particular are tough! I couldn't even stand the work ton finish painting one bathroom myself before I called it quits! Lol! DH has even less inclination to DIY anything! He's always telling me to just hire someone.
-
We DIY pretty much everything. DH is super handy and whenever he needs help we can call on friends or families. It has truly saved us an incredible amount of money.
-
We DIY as much as we can. DH is pretty handy, and my Dad really is. So it helps save us money for sure.
-
If it's a big job and we can afford it, I'd rather hire someone. Otherwise I'll do it myself.
-
Depends what it is. Most stuff we pay to have done because then its done right
