I have an interminable backlog of things to repair. I have little free time, and when I have it (usually when my son is finally sleeping at 10pm) , I'm usually too tired. Moreover, like most europeans, I live in a 3 bedroom 100m2 appartment with a parking space shared with 7 neighbours. I simply can't replace a water pump in my car like you said because I lack the space. Lots of people don't have a parking space and simply park on the street.
