I'll do my own electrical (I was an industrial electrician) but get a plumber to do any big plumbing jobs (I'm not a plumber; I have a hard time getting water to flow downhill).


But it doesn't matter whether you or the contractor tear open a wall and find $5K worth of unexpected repairs. The budget is shot right there, and then it happens two more times
