I have done pretty much everything myself. I even started the whole thing by breaking up almost 2 tons (literally) of concrete to relocate the bathroom to a new location. What I haven't done was the underground plumbing, and connecting the shower. Part of the "package price" includes them connecting up the toilet and sink when we are to that point.

We are pretty much set on hanging the drywall now too. We need to get the price down a little bit, so we will be working that. I have done mudding/taping/texturing in the past, but it takes me forever to get it all done to a point that I am happy. So for time reasons, we will still have someone do that.

I will do the tiling in the bathroom and just inside the sliding door that goes outside, but I have never installed carpet.

I will also be building a wet bar at some point, but it might get back-burnered while I finish a new deck this spring.
