I guess “hire someone” is always an option, but it’s a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable. It’s not even that the larger thing is outside my ability, it’s just “ugh, I don’t have time for this”.

Curious if anyone has any tips and tricks to overcome this kind of paralysis.

    I’m like that with plumbing. If a toilet needs fixing I will turn the entire house water off rather than touch a toilet cutoff valve.

      “What if it won’t turn off?”

      “What if it won’t turn back on?”

      “What if the valve just snaps off and sprays everywhere?”

      Yep, I understand completely.

        Yeah I have messed with cut off valves and they won’t stop dripping after I turn them.
