DIY Home Projects

[mrs.b]

You can do it, ffdpsoldier! I'm not handy, just cheap. I'd move my master bath and closet next weekend, but the plumbing in our place is weird, and we'll have to have part of our slab foundation pulled up to move some of it. Not something I'd try on my own.

There are tons of DIY resources out, and doing it yourself, you can space the work out as budget allows so you barely feel it, and before you know it, the project is done. Check diynetwork.com for some how-to's on drywall, and search a few other resources to confirm anything you're uncertain about. For electrical, plumbing, or structural concerns (i.e., don't alter beams without checking), I'd call a professional (others here sound like they're cozy with it, I'm just a chicken about that stuff), but if you do the majority of the work, you can bring costs down considerably.
