I just bought a house in the summer of 2015, after saving money for years. I had a nice little nest egg to complete home improvements, as this is a big property, old, a lot of character, and a lot of needed maintenance. One back porch and one chain link fence later, and I'm broke. DIY is completely essential, couple that with the fact I trust no one and think I know better, almost always. I am deluded. I have little DIY experience, and need all the help I can get. Any self respecting, knowledgeable construction contractor or equivalent should look at me with pity and throw me a bone. I could be, like, your charity work. Answer my dumb questions, and Heavens Gates will swing wide come judgement day.
