Do you find yourself doing things the hard way?

Sounds like someone has seen my brother-in-law working on his cars.Any normal person would take maybe a hour or so to do a job,,he will take 3 days. I let him use my shop and lift to change a starter on a Dakota 4 banger pickup.......2 and a half days he finished the job.(P.S.He worked for the government for 35 years............) Maybe??
