Growing up in a Country where manual labour was inexpensive, I never knew what it was like to do household chores or fix broken things. Now, having moved to a country where everyone is expected to do most household things themselves (as professionals charge heftily by the minute)  - cleaning, repairing, even building - I find myself in a strange dilemma.

On one hand, the variety of things I do in and around the house makes me feel proud. On the other hand, I wonder when I'll find time to do things I really want to if I spend so much time on DIY.
