If you are a licensed plumber, electrician, union Carpenter etc. please chime in.
Do you have the energy to do home projects outside of work?
Do you keep your work/hobbies separate?

Mechanic here.
I had a bad wheel bearing on my truck for about a year or so.
I was keeping an eye on it, it was getting louder but it wasn't loose.
Finally found one cheap enough that I could stomach changing it.

I'm a metal worker of sorts and after work I got to runs.

Carpenter here. I do home projects as needed, which are dictated by my wife. The only enjoyment I get out of them is when my wife tells me how good I am at making of fixing things.

very fucking rarely, i bring wood home from the jobsite to make stuff and some of it has been sitting there for 3 years at this point. the only time I do projects are for family as other guys have said.

I just came to catpost.And what the other guy said. Fix shit as it breaks, but not really taking on weekend projects for fun. That’s also a factor of being a busy adult too. Priorities

Contractor here. Every single tradesman I know, including myself, works on their own house in any capacity necessary. Most have separate hobbies. I like to drink liquor until I black out, my carpenter buddy Tom enjoys beating his wife and neglecting his kids (he's Irish), and my other buddy Adam smokes weed all the time and steal from SSI Disability. So yeah, we all lead rich and fulfilling lives.
