Seeking Advise with what I should be doing

I have always been a hands on/engineer type person, this is in my nature. I really enjoy getting my hands dirty and doing work. I'm starting to question to what extent I should continue to be hands on with my real estate business. I am just starting out, with 1 owner occupied duplex, and about to close on another duplex this friday that needs cosmetic rehab. 

I have the day off today from my regular job(where i'm hands on all day) and have a list of chores to do around the house, including getting rid of a large heavy entertainment center and replacing it with a smaller one. Additionally i need to get rid of some scrap metal from my garage. Both tasks require the help of someone to lift heavy items, and I don't really have anyone I can call right now. But this makes me wonder...why am I messing with this sort of thing? Why don't I just call someone with a crew to deal with it? Normally i would do this sort of thing by my self. Maybe I should focus on growing my real estate business instead. I'm just having a mental block, I don't even know where OR how to shift my mindset from doing everything to managing others to do it for me.
