HOWEVER, keep in mind two things with each project you undertake.

First, if the project can become costly if it isn't done correctly the first time, leave it to an insured professional.  Often repairing a part of something done poorly costs as much or more than just having a professional do it from the get go.

Second, remember to calculate your the value of your own time and sanity when you consider which projects to undertake yourself.  It is easy to say "I can do that myself and save money", but sometimes the amount of time required to do the job in off work hours can either take up all of your time for a significant period, leave daily life upside down for an extended period, or both.  These things can ultimately bring the stress level for you or family members to a very high level.

This is 90% of my life. I youtube it and measure time vs abilities vs. difficulty. If it’s not something I know I can complete in a very short time with ease, I call a professional. Ain’t nothing worse than an uncompleted project more worse than the wife nagging when your going to finish. Not to mention when completed she finds something wrong with. I would rather pay a pro and let her complain about him.
