The solution is to completely ignore your family and friends....  Just kidding.  No I just take on far more than I can actually do.  I'm told it's an  ADHD thing.  That's why this plan is just a pie in the sky idea right now   I need to build the house first!

Actually laughed out loud. You didn't mention you got a house to build lol took  me about a year to build the shop 1800 ft.². Took me about 2 1/2 years to build the house. Probably spend another year putting up awnings all over the place. I did everything but flat concrete work and trusses on the builds. Yeah I think 2024 is probably tied up for you. Lol by the way, that's a bit more than getting a new puppy or building an old bronco. Keep us updated on your progress. If I was going to do it again, I would be the general contractor and hire it all out. I would do a sip panel house and a crew of four could have all the walls up and the trusses on in a weekend. .

What about becoming a consultant instead of a parts swapper? You can then decide if you want to tackle the problem or let a shop do it.
Charge for a diagnosis and let the swap shops confirm your diagnosis or the customer gets some or all his money back from you(?)
