How much does it cost?

My two boys (men, I guess...both in their 20's) would describe themselves as gearheads. They think it is a perfectly good use of a day off to spend it under their trucks, adding features, fixing things, "doing stuff".

They don't understand why I'm willing to pay someone $$ to do a simple thing like a brake job. They also don't understand been-there-done-that, or the perspective you get later in life that your free time should be spent doing things you love. In the latter case, they are...so am I.

It all depends on where you are in life and what is important to you.

Me, I'm happy to pay someone to prep my boat. Though I'm also lucky at this point to be paying one of my sons ;-)
