I started this blog post, like a lot of my posts by stream of thought writing about a few things I've been thinking about lately. This one started out about how I've been building pretty much everything myself and then it dawned on me, I've been doing this because there's no more decent middle ground.

For most things, you either buy cheap junk or you pay exorbitant prices for decent or high end quality. So I almost always opt to DIY so that I can get quality or exacting specifications without breaking the bank.

It's probably the result of our K shaped economic recovery as well as PE invading so much of our lives, but I was wondering if anybody else feels this way or is going down the path of DIYing more and more in their everyday life?
