go ask any tradesman what they think about DIYers. go ask an electrician, a drywaller, a plumber, they'll all tell you DIYers mostly ruin their own houses and then call them to come remediate the shit they ruined

Exactly why I don’t attempt such things. I have no skill at it and any professional can do it a thousand times better than my best effort.
What happens if I attempt DIY except the most basic things is that I’ll spend twice the money or more — from my poor attempt and then calling someone to come in and fix my screw-ups. I don’t even paint if I can help it.
