I lose my 6 figure income to save a few bucks on zincs? I don't clean gutters, I don't paint my house for the same reasons. It is all about risk management, not being handy.
I Agree 100%
And that's why I do not put up Xmas lights anymore, at least that is my story to the wife and I am sticking with that
Seriously though, I do agree Greg!
Funny too how the world has changed, When I was in shop class in Jr High , 8th grade, in metal shop we use to melt lead and make our own fish sinkers, guess that does not happen anymore. Also did welding with torches and electric in 10th grade, that to me is more dangerous. I think automotive repair in 11th grade was more dangerous than all combined. Funny though, I never remember any kid ever getting hurt.
