pb50, I really like your approach!
Learning new things and solving problems is great fun...and it solves problems!
Last week my wife asked me to modify a bird feeder I'd made a few years ago. The project required my knowledge of bird behavior, understanding materials, deciding how to bolt on the new part, and finding the right bolts, special tool management, and understanding my wife's way of filling the bird feeder.
That was great fun! (And I felt very useful.)

Thats exactly it! Putting anything together - even with written instructions - is always going to be a new pathway for me! Historically I have bailed and hired someone for those tasks but now if it is within my physical capabilities, i am trying to figure it out.
