Do you gig with your pedals you build r are they just for your bedroom?

I agree^ 

Some of the crap i've seen when you open shop bought pedals, and some of if is shocking in terms of build quality.

Imma go with "no" but I hope to soon!
I've used them some in recording situations; lent them to musicians, used a Neutrino on keys and bass to try to get a warmer sound. They're ok for that purpose, somewhere in between the nice amps/gear they emulate and less responsive plugins.

Lovin my first build (Modified Ross Comp) and will be using it for our next gig...

Gigging [festivals/clubs] with my DIY Tonepad MXR Filter,Kingslayer,EA Tremolo and Ross Comp clone. Soon to add my 3in1 Fatpants>Egghead>Runt!

I'm pretty anal about these when I build em. If I screw up a trace or something its probably not going on my board,even though its an easy fix. My wiring could be neater but that doesnt bother me.

The only problems I've encountered over the years is with the Chinese DC jacks and a faulty 3pdt.
Heck, I've had a Soundtank on my board for 10+ years,so no worries about anything that I build!

I as well as most of my friends at this point are using something I built live. That was the purpose of getting into this right? 
I'll feel even more complete when I have my own DIY chain completely built by me, comp>fuzz>wah>modulations>delay>reverb

The first number of pedals I built weren't at all gig worthy, but I wasn't too happy about that.  It's a pain in the rear having a pedal go out even if you're just jamming at home.  I don't gig right now, but I have built a number of pedals for local guys in bands.  Depending on the particular music scene/genre, there's a decent chance something I've built is being used at some point in a local show.  My goal when I build a pedal now is that it can be taken on tour without a disappointing email or phone call taking place somewhere in the middle of it.

I have a checklist of ways to handle the pedal and circuit before giving it to someone that ensures confidence when I hand it to them or accept any monies.  I mean, nobody would want an amp or guitar that may or may not work at any given point, so I view pedals the same way.

I only play out a few times a year, but my yellow shark is on my board.  The sea urchin I built became a Christmas present for my other guitarist (and gives me an excuse to build another one)...
