One thing I have learned to do though is weigh how much it will cost me to fix. If I wouldn't do it for that much for someone else then I will (sometimes) pay someone else to do it. If you consider your time as money it changes the way you look at it. Sometimes though I have trouble letting go of enough trust to let someone else do it. It's also important to know your limits though.
