Well I have been accused of being a cheap d.i.y. guy in the past, it's just I feel if I can do it and save $$$ why not. This stems from buying our house new in 2000, and having to through so called pros out of our house because of shoddy work. I would rather learn how to do it myself and buy tools( added bonus). I've built window treatments, kitchen island, plumbing fixture replacements,change to electrical rocker switches,ceiling fans, landscape irrigation system,ect. An added benefit is I'm proud of my work.
