009 - SHOULD YOU DIY OR HIRE SOME GUY (or gal)

DIY

• If you might create fire, electrocute yourself, handle sewage, or be on your roof (or up high in general); consider a pro
  
• If working freshwater, make sure your main shutoff valve works first
  
• Find SOMEONE who has done this before, YouTube will only take you so far
  
• But the best way to learn is to do it yourself
  

CONTRACTORS

• INCENTIVES/PENALTIES - Focus on the contract before hiring the contractor
  
• Ease your contractor into work with a small job
