I’ve always poured all of my own slabs
I’ve done all of my own roofing
The wife does all of our plumbing. (She’s built two master baths from the ground up)
We’ve always done all our floor covering and tile. Almost the whole house is tile
Build our own cabinets,
Wife builds furniture, tables, book cases, etc
She installed all of our new windows
We’ve installed our own septic system
Our best friends from high school help us frame and do electrical.
We’ve dug our own footings with a pick and a shovel, laid thousands of 8” blocks
The *few* times I’ve hired some “Contractor” to come out and do something, like drywall. It looked like total shît
Until I’m in a wheelchair or worse, I will not have any pos jacklegs doing anything for us
Wife can do brakes too.
Anything major mechanical-wise…I’ll just buy another $1500 car
I’ve rebuilt 1/2 dozen engines but probably won’t do any more.
