If a project is impractical for DIY (such as requiring specialized tools or a license to handle the equipment, e.g. HVAC coolant) then be sure to explain that. Otherwise, the answers we are looking for should educate someone how to do a task and then explain when they cannot do it themselves. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 6:13 | comment | added | diceless | It's very much an acceptable answer. You need to know where your limits are and have the right tools to do the job. An average person is going to open the panel and not see what is wrong. And from what we have, no one can give an answer as to what is wrong. And I personally don't want to tell someone to go poking around the panel when they don't know what is going on in there. | |
