Inflation and age has about ruined house stuff DIY for me. Car stuff too. everything is 100-300% more and shops around here are like $150/hr. Even having the bucks sucks cause I think in 1980 dollars. Folks now need to be especially careful in starting projects now that were no brainers even a year ago. Even house flippers are losing interest in the game. Car restoration today seems a gamble. BTW summit sucks avoid them.
