I suppose you should be careful as to what you ask for. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. My wife said "Fix that gutter downspout TODAY!" So I invited the boys over. One brought his welding machine, one brought a pipe cutter the others brought beer. Took us about 4 hours, mostly for the beer, but we got the downspout fixed. Wife is still speechless... I am certain not for much longer though.
