Calling it a hobby is only for self-worth and feel-good encouragements. And everybody who has even been in that position knows it.

These people who anonymously claim to be outsmarting and continuously beating LV casinos by counting cards and hitting buttons with impunity occasionally do show their real hands--albeit unintentionally. Such is the case right here. One must have to have a whole lotta shithouse problems, insufficient finances, and/or a seriously nagging wife to be doing something a better man would just simply hire professionals to do.

Such is the way for the LV geniuses.
You must have had a real bad experience when you tried remodeling one of your campers. This is like trying to say people shouldn't cut their own lawn or clean their house if they can pay for it. I will probably have about a 120 hours in this by the time it is done. True that I could make much more than a remodel cost if I spent that time in a casino. But I would rather do my own work. Because then I get it my way on my own terms. I have always leaned toward self sufficiency.
