I don't DIY, ever! I hire the best people I can possibly afford to get all of the jobs on the job site done, but sometimes: - You run out of money - You throw off a trade from your job - You want to learn a new skill! ...and you head into the DIY phase of your project. Here are 3 areas I think you could handle on your own DIY'ing pretty easily. [and because I love you all - there's actually 4 in here :)]
