DIY is a concept which supposes that you fix all kind of things around your house, without making use of specialists to do those jobs for you. Since early childhood, I’ve admired our dads, how they used to meet at some do-it-yourself sessions around their cars. Fixing and cleaning the car was an excellent reason for a talk and many times, why not, for a social drink. Moreover, repairing a garage door was one of those difficult tasks where you really can’t manage by yourself, thus you need to call a neighbor or two. Hence, some more socializing before, after and in between the job of fixing those springs and cleaning that opener.

There’s no wonder that I have to outsource all similar things, as I hate socializing and I don’t even know my neighbors. Besides, I’m not sure I ever want to. They probably think I’m peculiar, but who cares, anyway?
