Heya Tristan 
I actually will attempt anything. If I dont know how to do it, I will figure it out, and if I cant figure it out, I research and ask alot of questions, and sit back and think about it till I figure it out. I cant help but think, if someone else can fix/work on something, then why cant I?!
I do use common sense though. When playing with fire, I have someone watching for a fire starting, and if I am the only one around, I will cut for a bit, then check for fire, then cut for abit, then check for fire.

We are blessed with a shop literally 2 minutes down the road and the owner happens to be the Carson Volunteer Fire Chief and always has a truck at his shop. I was too young for beer and it was far too quick for the hotdogs to be cooked!

Tristan, too young for beer....You needed a grandfather like I had.
He always gave us kids beer in his garage, and we were sworn to secrecy.
Yes seriously, he drank a lot, and always had a fridge full of beer in his garage, and we kids knew he would always give us a beer on a hot summer day, regardless of age.
Unfortunately he died when I was still a young boy, I wish I had gotten to know him better, the memories I have are all good.
Although I grew up thinking it was fine to have a brewski to cool me off at age 5....lol
That likely explains why I am brain damaged now.

Got this from a freind of mine that owns an offroad peformance shop in Victoria, TX.
Check this out...
FYI this happened in Victoria, Texas. This customer had me quote him putting on Banks exhaust/intercooler kit on his VERY CLEAN 97 F350 Crew Cab, but he decided to "do it himself, to save some money".....
Certified welder and truck owner on standby with water hose. Trying to remove exhaust downpipe in engine compartment with a torch. They had no idea the cab was on fire till the windshield blew out. Meanwhile truck was locked and keys where inside the house, welder yelled call 911 FIRE, Rodney ran with 3- fire extinguishers. Insurance wont cover it because there where other safer methods.
Ouch!!!!!!
