Contextually, I'm also frugal.

We call that cheap up here.

It's both frugal and cheaper to do it right the first time.

You sound like my wife ....

I think it has something to do with the sheer cost of replacement windows and if I fuck up and break one I eat the cost. If the professional installers break it, they eat it.

I have actually replaced smaller windows, like basement windows, but big bay windows I'll pay someone to do that. One advantage I have is that I'm friends with a number of tradesmen and for things like electrical and plumbing I invite them over to inspect my work before calling it complete.

Very understandable.
