I will try anything around the house. We bought a house which provided us to deeded lake access in Portage, Michigan and I have spend the last 18 months fixing it up. Complete kitchen reno, new laminate floors, converting the middle bedroom to a massive walk in closet, new lights, complete basement remodel, some electrical updates, new siding, windows, doors and interior trim. I removed the old aluminum siding, removed the brick from the front of the house, house wrapped the outside and installed horizontal vinyl siding on the walls and reverse board and batton vinyl on the gable ends.
I am now in the process of electrifying the pole barn in the back yard. When the ground thaws I will be running 125 feet of wire underground in conduit to the barn.
I have done 95% of the work myself. If you take your time, have a good plan, think things through and get the right tools things generally work out. I have screwed many things up and I think I have gotten more right and wrong. LOL
