If you read the manual and use the recommended tools, it's surprisingly
hard to screw most things up. For the last year I've been too far from
home to call Dad, but have managed with no previous experience to
paint, lay tile and laminate flooring, and even change faucets and
shower heads without disaster. Honestly, if it were THAT hard, would
we entrust it to the builder's bum brigade? :-) And no course is going
to cover everything. Just grab your toolbox and wade in! At worst,
you'll pay someone to do something you would have paid them to do
anyway.
