About
Hi. My name is Wally. I am a stubborn, obstinate, die-hard do-it-yourself-er 
It’s not that I don’t think others can do stuff well - quite the contrary - if I see something I think is really cool, I’ll definitely let you know. There are some craftsmen (and crafts-women) and artisans and hobbyists I think are far better at whatever it is they do than I. But…
I just like doing stuff myself.
Why? Well, of course there’s the cost savings. And the one-time investment in a tool that can be used time and time again. And, of course there’s the ego-feeding part where people tell you you’ve got talent. But, most of all, I like to sit back and look at a job (hopefully) well done and say “I did that!” Not someone I hired. Not someone who thought of it first. Not an expert…. but me. I did it.
When my neighbors get complimented on their landscaping (or whatever), they say “Yeah, I got a good landscaper”. When someone compliments me about how good my landscaping (or whatever) looks, I can look them in the eye, and without guilt or any kind of spin, say simply, “Thanks”.
It’s a good feeling. You should try it.
