I've been working on a project at home, doing some remodeling and such. Between me, the wife, and both our parents we have done everything ourselves.
Except for drywall - I don't want to mess that up. So, I hired the job out and after a few days of sub-par work and the guy messing up our walls and floor, he walked out on us. I get a new guy to come finish it, and he starts strong but kind of stalled out and is finishing much later than promised (and needed).
What I've especially learned from this whole thing is, if you want something done it is really really hard to trust people and hold them accountable. Sometimes it is stressful to do a project by yourself instead of hiring it out, but for the most part you control a bit of your own destiny that way.
