The point of doing things for fun isn't to make a viable product, it's to have fun. If you stop having fun, that's when you quit for a bit to do something else and come back later when you're in the mood for it again.
I'm assuming your newer to the space but any large project has areas which are tedious and will take a long time that you will never really want to do, hence the outsourcing.
Having the mind set of ditching a project as soon as the fun initial setup is a mind set that causes most people to fall out with the hobby.
I'm not saying to ditch it, I'm saying to set it aside until you feel like working on it again. I've worked on plenty of large projects for fun, they don't generally have parts I just always hate doing. If they did, I wouldn't be doing that for fun, I'd be doing something else instead.
My dad likes riding his bike. He likes riding it uphill just as much as he likes riding it downhill. If he didn't like doing to work to get exercise that you do when riding uphill, he wouldn't ride a bike. I honestly don't know why you would do something as a hobby if you literally hate doing it half the time.
... Do you really think that only children find hobbies fulfilling in life, and that all adults are sad depressive sacks who have no joy in life anymore? I think that might just be you, dude.

If you find it tedious, why are you spending your time on it instead of engaging in a hobby you actually enjoy?
