Ep. 7 - 3 Things I Would DIY without being a DIY'er
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 :)]
