I am always afraid to do anything involving electrical and plumbing. I still don't like doing sheetrock, as I generally make a mess of things.
You will laugh, but I was an adult before my husband pointed out to me that you can unscrew the light switch plates instead of painting around them. I was vaguely horrified. Up till that point, I had somehow thought of the house as a discrete entity that protected what was inside from what was outside. The idea that rank amateurs could dismantle it filled me with dismay.
