It used to be that people with DIY projects would take the time to learn how to do something (buy and read books) and would purchase the proper tools to do the job. The thing being either you pay someone else to do it, or you do it yourself the correct way and with the proper tools...
These days I'm seeing a lot of people who don't even TRY to learn about how to do something and don't want to buy the tools. They ask on the internet and seem to want someone to do all the work for them and tell them exactly what to do. And they think they can do ANYTHING themselves! ("Just tell me how to fix this!")
I think this is because of all of those DIY shows on TV.
They need a new set of shows on TV which explain that some things require learning and proper tools. Or that you need to call pro if you are not willing to take the time to learn about something. And that some things can take years to learn about...
