Yeah... I am a very new homeowner (<6 months), and I am learning that if I do things myself, several things happen...

1) If i screw it up, I have no one to blame but myself and that is much less stressful.
2) If I screw up, I learn from my mistakes and I have gained valuable knowledge and probably won't do that again.

3) I really like the fact that doing stuff myself gives me a greater understanding of the house I am living in, and how everything works in it.
