Or do you call a profession. I ask cuz “handiness” or basic caprentry skills seems lost on this generation. When people come to the house to fix basic things I ain’t gonna lie I feel like a *****, but how do I learn?

That lead into my shop ECT. Once you get the basics all is cake.
YouTube is a big help if you want to learn.

I'm pretty mediocre at being handy around the house. But YouTube has a lot of useful videos on how to do things, and the more you try your hand at some projects the better you get.

Depending on where you live HOme Depot can have some former contractors that can talk you through stuff. There is also classes in some of the home depots. I never did the classes but years back I had a guy walk me through a bathroom renovation.

something straightforward you can youtube it, but if its involving remotely even death n disaster, like the boiler, I call someone (but not for obvious stuff obviously like "release this valve for 20 seconds" etc).
I appreciate tools can be an issue for those with hand problems, for instance. The older people must be a lucrative market for handymen.
