I used to do a lot of work in my car myself, and agree that there's a tremendous sense of accomplishment involved to getting your hands dirty and doing it yourself.

I try to do some of the smaller things around the house as well. I've already bought a new faucet for the kitchen sink, and intend of installing it myself.

As much as I'd love to give the floors a try, I also know that is a job that if screwed up, will be a major problem. If I mess the faucet up, it's not the end of the world.
